Ground Zero

Ground Zero is not just the site where the World Trade Center once stood in New York, Ground Zero is the zero point of our present and its global conflicts. For Stefan Weidner, the story of 9/11 only ends when we free ourselves from the ideological shackles of the past two decades and try to rethink our world from scratch. The pandemic, of all things, opens up the opportunity to dissolve destructive thought patterns and to take a look at a better future. Stefan Weidner speaks with Bilal Qureishi about his latest book, Ground Zero – 9/11 and the Birth of the Present.
