Almost anyone can start a revolution. But building a new social order? That’s something only a couple of nerds can do - and Sibylle Berg's heroine Don.

After a successful revolution that gently dismantles the financial and social system, it’s finally here: the brave new world after capitalism. In this world, everything people had learned to believe in has vanished – and to their amazement, it’s possible to live without fear and without selling your life to an employer. From housing to agriculture, from how we vacation to the fate of bureaucracy, Europe is reinventing itself. And Don is in Italy – the best place to build something new on the ruins.
