Le Vertige de L'illimité

This book explores the cultural and ideological phenomenon of humanity's fascination with the concept of 'the unlimited' in contemporary society. Through an analysis of leisure parks, shopping malls, and e-commerce platforms like Amazon, the author examines how these spaces embody and reinforce myths of abundance, power, and limitless consumption. The book critiques the societal obsession with overcoming natural limitations, linking it to broader issues such as environmental degradation, economic inequality, and the fragility of global systems, as highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The author argues that the pursuit of infinite growth and satisfaction often leads to dissatisfaction and destructive consequences. Intended for readers interested in sociology, philosophy, and cultural studies, the book calls for a reevaluation of human desires and limitations to foster sustainable living and a shared sense of responsibility for the planet.
