Suzanne Treister: Hexen 2.0 Tarot

After a decade out of print, this rare tarot deck, renowned for its unique vision and prophetic themes, returns in a highly anticipated new edition. The HEXEN 2.0 Tarot features 78 alchemical drawings that depict the interconnected histories of the computer and the Internet, cybernetics and the counterculture, science-fiction and scientific projections of the future, government and military research programmes, social engineering, and ideas of the control society. These are presented alongside diverse philosophical, literary and political responses to the advance of technology, including the claims of anarcho-primitivism, techno-gaianism, and transhumanism. Through representing and re-examining these histories and subjects holistically within an alchemical framework, the HEXEN 2.0 Tarot transports us to a hypnotic, mesmerising space where a reader, or a group of readers working collaboratively, can use the cards to imagine and discuss visions for alternative futures.
