Disposable Futures: The Seduction of Violence in the Age of Spectacle

Brad Evans is an emerging voice in radical theory circles who will resonate with the market of public intellectuals like Slavoj Zizek—established intellectuals who command large trade readerships through popular culture.

Accessible and serious, fans of the classic Guy Debord book "Society of the Spectacle" will flock to this title.

Evans has a close association with Simon Critchley with whom he co-directed the 2012 film "Ten Years of Terror," which received international acclaim and a screening at The Guggenheim in NYC. (Critchley launched the New York Times's philosophy section, "The Stone.")

Evans is the driving force behind the "Histories of Violence" website (http://historiesofviolence.com) and his co-authorship with Giroux on features for Truthout is helping build a profile in the blogsphere.

Evans is a young, prolific, well-connected Brit with a very distinctive 007 look. (Seriously!)

Henry Giroux's influence is growing and the readership for his political writing continues to increase as a result of his involvement with Truthout for which he regularly contributes long-form feature pieces that a amass thousands of "likes" within days of posting. His pieces migrate fast, and appear on Huffington Post, Counterpunch and TruthDig.
