The second season of Overmorrow’s Library is dedicated to world-building, world-ending, and travel across worlds. Federico Campagna presents a new selection of books that might help us to appreciate the fragility of ‘worlds’, and the art of creating new ones through a particular use of our imagination. This episode is about the origins of anarchism: Étienne de La Boétie’s ‘Discourse on Voluntary Servitude’ and Max Stirner’s ‘The Ego and Its Own’. Two timeless takes on freedom, forever out of sync with the time of history.
