As the planet is swept by an unprecedented global pandemic, who better to delve into its deepest meanings than the ever-ready Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek?

Žižek wanders around marveling at its perplexing contradictions, and speculates about the depth of its consequences, all in a way that will make you sweat profusely and struggle to breathe.

We are living in a moment when the greatest act of love is staying away from those we love; a moment when governments have suddenly halted their enormous spending to generate trillions; a moment when toilet paper has become as precious as diamonds; and a moment that, according to Žižek, will witness the birth of a new kind of communism as our only way to avoid falling into global barbarism.
