In the “utopia of the Rules”, the American anthropologist David Greber (1961-2020) makes an attempt to expose the ubiquitous, but often hidden from the eyes, a modern bureaucracy that forms all of us. He discovers the origins of the total regulation of social life in the philosophy of the Pythagoreans, who considered the “value of rationality itself in itself” and invented the way to think about the world, thanks to which the bureaucracy seeks to “turn itself into a grand cosmological scheme”. Touching on such different topics as the exaltation of right -wing economists and the hidden meanings of stories about Sherlock Holmes and Batman, the “utopia of the rules” combines a deep view of the social theory in the traditions of Marx and Foucault with the entertaining analysis of the popular culture, which makes us recall the glory of Liizhek in its most affordable form .
