<p>Global growth sets new records, poverty and illiteracy rates fall, technological innovation creates amazing opportunities.  </p><p>Still we are deeply discontent, there is something fundamentally wrong with contemporary society. Democracies are paralysed and produce authoritarian bullies as leaders, a growing underclass sedates itself with fast carbs and moronic entertainment. Society is infantilised and political discourse implodes.  </p><p><i>Digital Libido: Sex, power and violence in the network society</i> is a deep and brutal analysis of humanity s rapidly increasing sense of loss and confusion in the network society. Departing from Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, and his prophetic masterpiece <i>Civilisation and its Discontents</i>, philosophers and futurologists Alexander Bard and Jan Söderqvist create a tour de force while digging deep into the human condition in the internet age. Exposing every aspect of the complex relationship between Man and technology, Bard &amp; Söderqvist clarify our current and future existential dilemmas.  </p><p>Welcome to the attentionalist chaos, where order gains such a massive value that people are willing to pay any price to obtain it.   </p><p>So what is happening?   </p><p>And why?   </p><p><i>Digital Libido: Sex, power and violence in the network society</i> answers the questions you were too scared to even ask.  </p><p></p><p>About the authors:  </p><p>ALEXANDER BARD is a philosopher, futurologist, spiritual and political activist.

The Swedish Evangelical Mission's (SEM) A-plan was to reach the Oromo People in Ethiopia with the Gospel. By the cooperation of evangelical Christians from Ethiopia, Eritrea and Sweden this was made possible. Early important pioneers were the previously freed slaves Onesimos Nesib and Aster Ganno Salbana. Their translation of the Bible and a hymnbook into the Oromo language made the Oromo people "to feel at home" in the evangelical faith. Emmanuel Gebre Selassie and Emmanuel Abraham were two later important leaders. Their unity in the Christian faith made differences in ethnic background irrelevant. Step by step, strong relations developed between Ethiopian evangelical Christians and the SEM missionaries in Ethiopia. A decisive step was the founding of the Mekane Yesus Church in 1959 with 20 000 members. This church has now grown to become the largest evangelical Lutheran church in the world with approximately 12 million members. In this book you will follow the longstanding relations between Ethiopian evangelical Christians and the SEM missionaries. The relations survived dramatic external factors such as: the Italian occupation, the two larger famines of the 1970s and the 1980s, the Ethiopian revolution, the "Red terror" with persecution of Christians and closed churches. Rev. Dr. Staffan Grenstedt is a retired senior lecturer at the Johannelund School of Theology in Uppsala. He worked in the Mekane Yesus Church and the Ethiopian Graduate School of Theology for ten years.
