The book "On Extinction" leads us on an explosive philosophical journey through desperate terrains. Facing 'the end of all things,' Ben Ware argues that we must confront our apocalyptic future without hesitation. In fact, extinction is the very lens through which we must examine our current reality.

Radical politics today should not merely concern itself with avoiding the worst but with starting again at the end. Thinking about the future in this way is a form of freedom that can incubate the necessary radical solutions we need.

Combining lessons from Kant, Hegel, Adorno, and Lacan, as well as drawing from pop culture and ecology, Ware reframes the most urgent issue of our time, concluding that we can only think of our collective end if we face it as a starting point.
