Five talking books

Reich and Adorno are something like a "Nietzsche for the common man". Both should have read the Foucault from the 70s, if they were alive. Derrida started the deconstruction work. But it's Deleuze that explains it all. Deleuze is our saviour.
These are all Nietzsche's descendents. But while Nietzsche was bipolar (dangerous), we close the XXs century with a proudly consistent schizophrenic Deleuze (saviour).

* Wilhelm Reich; Listen, Little Man!
* Theodor W. Adorno; Minima Moralia
* Michel Foucault; Security, Territory, Population
* Jaques Derrida, Of Grammatology
* Gilles Deleuze; Pourparlers

Nietzsche said: "We are dead, you should play!" and all the others (decendents) said: "no, let's take a look again!"
Foucault said: "We are in jail!"
Reich said: "You are in jail!"
Adorno said: "Jail sucks!"
Derrida said: "This is all a meaning-play!"
and Deleuze closes it saying: "Let's play then!"
