Anthony Galluzzo\\u2019s new book Against the Vortex: Zardoz and Degrowth Utopias in the Seventies and Today offers a delightfully adventurous set of takes on some of this podcast\\u2019s running obsessions: the collapse of the 1960s left, revolutionary violence, cult cinema, weird sex rituals, 1970s communes and \\u201cintentional communities,\\u201d population bombs, nuclear futures and, perhaps most of all, the religious belief in infinite technological progress that animates both the right and left. Fully automated luxury communism, anyone? In this conversation, Galluzzo shares how Zardoz\\u2019s bizarre story of a bikini-clad Sean Connery\\u2019s prison break from a dystopian society recovers the lost \\u201cdegrowth\\u201d movements of the 1970s and brings us a radically different vision of our collective future.\\xa0
