"The Light That Elongated the Day" was a six-week course led by Carrie Hott as programming at The Museum of Capitalism, a project curated by Oakland-based duo FICTILIS that envisioned a world without capitalism by reflecting on it as an era passed.

As explained by Hott, the class explored "the end of darkness, the elongation of the day, 24-7 culture, preppers, and more. These themes, when considered in the context of a museum that memorializes the era of capitalism, suggest that the ubiquitousness of light and of the grid has many parallels to the economic system of capitalism."

Collected here in this 95-page, black and white, blue-matte covered book is documentation of what was explored and created in the class, alongside contributions from each participant.
