What makes Semprún’s book relevant to this day is its critique of the dominant ‘ethos of liberation and continuous transgression of the desirants’ which has its ‘truth’ in ‘the eternally new of a perpetual present’.

Always think long term and assume we'll win. Or as the situationists put it in the 1960s, "be realistic, demand the impossible!"

Huh. I never thought about it before, but this is a very pithy description of corporate social media DataFarms:

"The spectacle is not an aggregate of images but a social relation among people, mediated by images."

Guy Record, 'The Society of the Spectacle'
