On Freedom gives us a stark and striking vision of the modern global order. By emphasizing the necessity and seamlessness of our technological, economic, and communicative systems, Peter Trawny paradoxically incites us to dream of something else: a realm of genuine freedom, “impossible” though it may be. Taking inspiration from figures such as Ernst Jünger and Martin Heidegger but contributing telling insights of his own, Trawny has produced a disturbing, provocative book.
