How to finish a work, how to conclude a relationship, how to die--these are interrelated questions that challenge aesthetics, morality and existence. \u003ci\u003eCabinet\u003c\/i\u003e 68, with a special section on \"The End,\" includes Aaron Schuster on the theoretical framework of the romantic breakup; Jeff Dolven on objects such as pencils or filterless cigarettes that serve as their own handles and can therefore not be used to the very end; and Shireen Brooke on Balzac's \"The Unknown Masterpiece\" and the philosophy of the unfinishable. Elsewhere in the issue: Femke Herregraven on how the minute lags produced by the material infrastructure of the internet is exploited in high-frequency trading; Sasha Archibald on the influence of the Technicolor corporation's Color Advisory Service on the history of cinema; and Benjamin Breen on British mathematician and Futurian Richard Medhurst and his role in debunking the work of the Society for Psychical Research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cabinet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781932698831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96","brand":"Sina Najafi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52679521206453,"sku":"9781932698831","price":10.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/cabinet-68-the-end-9781932698831","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
