It is a study that focuses on the fact that "even though there has never been another period in which the exhaustion and bankruptcy of capitalism was confessed so loudly by the capitalists themselves, the imagination of a new society that transcends capitalism is so barren and weak."

In this work, which is the product of six years of effort, Alp Altınörs focuses on illuminating the existential crisis of capitalism and clarifying the framework of the socialism alternative with current developments.

Altınörs deals with the existential (organic) crisis of capitalism in the first part of the book, and in the second part, he draws attention to the role that robot technology, which is incompatible with capitalism, can play under social ownership (socialism).
