In Devil’s Contract, Ed Simon examines historical events and the present through the lens of the Faustian bargain. We have been, he ponders, and still are all caught in a Faustian pact. Despite the lessons of history, we cannot renounce the comforts provided by technology and science even though we have plenty of evidence that their unchecked exploitation by capitalism is leading to the demise of the planet and humanity itself.
