2084 (2016)

This book is a reactionary work commenting on Anders Breivik’s facist manifesto and the steady growth of right wing populism in general. It contains a chapter of the original text entitled “Ten reasons to get rid of the European Union” paired with various news articles from 2015 which highlight the then already upcoming rise of facism, showing that Breivik was not a single mad man but rather part of a greater movement. The original text is heavily eschewed by christian religious symbolism, similar to Breivik’s own attempt at masking his ideology behind a religious agenda.
