First published just months before the May 1968 upheavals in France, The Revolution of Everyday Life is a lyrical and aphoristic critique of the "society of the spectacle" from the point of view of individual experience.
A leading member of the Situationist International, Raoul Vaneigem names and defines the alienating mundanities of consumer society: survival rather than life, the call to sacrifice, the cultivation of false needs, the dictatorship of the commodity, the oppressiveness of social roles, and above all the replacement of God by the Economy. He also explores the countervailing impulses that persist within the deepest alienation: creativity, spontaneity, poetry, and the drive that leads from isolation to communication and participation.
This new edition has been fully revised by the translator and includes a new preface for English-language readers by Raoul Vaneigem.
