The bible of insurrectionary anarchism. An analysis of empire several years before Negri got there, along with some strategies for taking it down. Not to mention the best title of a book ever conceived! With an introduction by Jean Weir
Alfredo Maria Bonanno is a main theorist of contemporary insurrectionary anarchism who wrote essays such as Armed Joy (for which he was imprisoned for 18 months by the Italian government), The Anarchist Tension and others. He is an editor of Anarchismo Editions and many other publications, only some of which have been translated into English. He has been involved in the anarchist movement for over thirty years.
I didn't enjoyed this very much as it was exactly the same as other Bonanno books (Let's Destroy Work, Let's Destroy the Economy and The Insurrectional Project).
My main criticism is that I don't buy the "post industrial" thesis! We are still very much in the industrial era. But somehow it's a great piece besides that.
