Andy Folk, of ArthurMag, attended the New York launch of the book, and said

The text’s reappropriation of communism culminates in a total break from Marxism, even finding itself tracking contemporary anti-civilization arguments, attacking ecological concerns as following the logic of capitalism: “They hired our parents to destroy the world, and now they’d like to put us to work rebuilding it—to add insult to injury—at a profit.” The chapter triumphantly concludes: “As long as there is Man and Environment the police will be there between them.”

Contentious stuff. You can buy the book at MIT Press or read it online.

  1. Sounds preachy. I’ll have to read it, though from the looks of it I already disagree with it… This might be fun!

  2. Add a chaos magic how-to in there, it could be a manual of the other Invisibles…

  3. God, I hate Glen Beck, I really do.

    But for the book to say that “There is no such thing as a peaceful insurrection” is just stupid. A revolution by and for the people can only be peaceful.

  4. wow, the dude is scared shitless :)
