New book available now. A fuller, much expanded treatment of the iteration/repetition/deixis framework that Sascha Engel first introduced in his Breaking The Alphabet, expanding it to analyses of - and techniques against - institutionalized domestication in everyday life, the state, machinery and computation (including of the "AI" variety). Sascha extends his argument that 'writing' does not ultimately consist of letters on screens and paper, but rather of a rendering of the world implemented in each of our everyday gestures, chopping it up and packaging it for the global megamachine. Against this, he draws on the gestures by which plants grow everywhere through the cracks, and develops some fresh ideas for the anarchic struggle. Out from Ardent Press.
"Merely conjuring the healed world always carries the risk of quietism and mystical authoritarianism. Steering clear of these requires implementing the logic of continuous unfolding against the will to reification... The plants can lead the way, as their world remains unfixed, indeterminable, undifferentiated: they still live in the world of continuous unfolding. The will to reification rages everywhere against them with all its might, yet they still resist."

Put it on the anarchist library we anarchist readers don't buy books with money. No anarchist should be an artiste selling their writing for money (currency of the state).
Weren't you paying attention

They will put it on TAL for free download right before it earns out the advance.
Just be patient.

What "advance" are you talking about. Earning is an alien concept to any true anarchist.

Is LBC taking crypto? That'd be great if it does, as paying through traditional channels directly means profiling , obviously. Or is 2CO secure enough to not have my name put on DHS/FBI black lists?
