Estas tres entrevistas inéditas, que se grabaron en 1990, 2003 y 2005, revelan la actualidad de las reflexiones de André Gorz sobre el sentido de la vida. Al asociar una crítica del trabajo alienado y una visión ecológica de la buena vida su utopía se concreta en la aparición de una civilización de tiempo liberado. Ello supone el divorcio entre el trabajo, que debe reducirse, y la remuneración, que debe ser garantizada a fin de que cada uno pueda desarrollar, a lo largo de su vida, una multiplicidad de actividades autodeterminadas, creativas, solidarias y militantes. Una reflexión existencial sobre el sentido de la vida que ha sido alterado por la megamáquina capitalista que reduce al ser humano a la única función de trabajador y consumidor.
