Mute Vol 1, No. 19 – Global Systems Meltdown
The dot com and technology shares crash are giving way to monetary prudence and back-to-basics realism. In this issue we attempt to revisit the unevenly distributed and underdeveloped 'utopian imagination' but with a cautionary question: is the ongoing economisation of life another step in the utopian fiction of global capitalism?
