In this new Living Book, Silvia Berger Ziauddin and Leo Grob delve into the penetration and valorization of the underground since the 19th century. They bring together classical cultural-historical studies on the subterranean sphere using sources and more recent texts from various disciplines, and, in their introductory contribution, critically analyse the concepts and promises that today are associated with the accelerated expansion of capitalist societies into the depths.
