An Extravaganza

Illustration by Alabaster Pizzo

Now’s the time to shift the story

2 minutes to midnight – an extravaganza looks at the world through the eyes of a book. Season one takes its cue from People Get Ready: The Fight Against a Jobless Economy and a Citizenless Democracy, a cautionary tale about accelerating computing power, democracy, and capitalism. It’s a year’s worth of discovery & play.

Hop on the 2m2m bandwagon. Have a listen to 2 minutes to midnight – an extravaganza. Peruse People Get Ready: The Fight Against a Jobless Economy and a Citizenless Democracy by Rober McChesney and John Nichols. Feel what moves you and create! Consider sharing your creation with all of us at an extravaganza gallery.

Or just relax and enjoy the work of creatives from around the world. Bon apetit!
