Michael's Reviews > The Worst Is Yet to Come: A Post-Capitalist Survival Guide

The Worst Is Yet To Come is another entry in the long line of books analysing (and in some cases celebrating) the end of neoliberal capitalism. Peter Fleming takes a different angle on this to many writers, suggesting that rather than being optimistic about what the future will bring (in that the collapse of capitalism will lead to the fruition of the long standing socialist project in the form of Fully Automated Luxury Capitalism), a form of aggressive pessimism is a more rational response.

Part memoir, part philosophical treatise and part practical survival guide, this is both an insightful and in places bitingly funny book. Fleming’s writing is sometime reminiscent of Mark Fisher’s, and he’s definitely a writer to look out for in future.
