Biography
Aaron John Bastani, born Aaron John Peters on 25 February 1984, is a British political commentator, journalist and author. He co-founded the left-wing media organisation Novara Media in 2011. He regularly hosts and contributes to Novara Live, its live news show on YouTube, and describes his political views as socialist.
Bastani popularised the term “Fully Automated Luxury Communism” to describe a post-capitalist society in which automation substantially reduces the labour people need to perform. His first book, published under that title in 2019, develops this vision through questions of energy abundance, feeding a world of nine billion people, overcoming work, moving beyond biological limits and creating meaningful freedom for everyone.
