Uncontrollability

Book •
Uncontrollability explores the limits of human control and the consequences of our attempts to dominate the natural and social world.

Rosa argues that the modern pursuit of control, driven by technological progress and economic imperatives, has led to a sense of alienation and a loss of connection with the world.

He examines how our efforts to manage and predict the future often result in unintended consequences and a growing sense of insecurity.

The book proposes that embracing uncontrollability is essential for fostering resilience and creating a more sustainable and fulfilling way of life.

Through a wide-ranging analysis of various aspects of modern society, Rosa challenges us to rethink our relationship with the world.
