Franco "Bifo" Berardi on key concepts in his new book "After the Future". Directed by Gary Genosko and produced by the Infoscape Centre for the Study of Social Media, Ryerson University.

Germany in Autumn, the impressive movie directed by Ald Brustellin, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Alexander Kluge, Volker Schlönforff and others, tells of the widespread perception of the coming end of social solidarity. In that movie we perceive the sudden sadness, fog, and clouds descending over people´s lives. The prision in Stammheim, where in 1977 Red Army members Andreas Baader, Carl Hans Raspe and Gudrun Esslin died, becomes a kind of metaphor for the everyday jail that social life was becoming in those years, in the passage from the restless decade after ´68.
