Verso’s new Futures series was put together, so states the inside page, to assess the “outer limits of social and political possibility.” So it’s disappointing to find in Franco ‘Bifo’ Berardi’s contribution Heroes: Mass Murder and Suicide, such a lack of the possible. Indeed, the book often seems little more than a lament for the impossible scale of the task facing advocates of progressive politics in an age of neo-liberalism.
