This is the strange story of how our society is questioning its own identity. We live in liquid times in which everything flows and nothing stays the same: not philosophy, not politics, not diet, not sex, not even death. It is literally "the end of everything", but at the same time the beginning of a new era. How did we come to this?

The book is full of real-life examples showing the diversity and complexity of a society straddling modernity and postmodernity. Through its pages we will encounter: adulterous presidents, jilted lovers, homophobes turned transsexuals, artists smearing themselves in excrement, scientists exterminating 'inferior' people, suicidal musicians, alchemists, vengeful goddesses, philosophers sentenced to death and a long etcetera of captivating characters. All in all, an intellectual journey like no other that once read, it will be impossible to ignore.

With the rigour of a Philosophy graduate and the clarity of a Master's in Contemporary Culture, the author explains, and contextualises, the causes of this situation.
