    Beyond Bookchin
    Preface for a Future Social Ecology
    David Watson

    This book is the most comprehensive discussion to date of Murray Bookchin’s social ecology. But David Watson goes far beyond social ecology to explore new paths of thinking about radical politics. His visionary ecology challenges the mystique of progress and proposes a more holistic notion of reason both primal and modern, skeptical and mythopoetic.

    Behind the Blip
    Essays on the Culture of Software
    Matthew Fuller

    A far-reaching and strikingly original collection of essays on the”culture of software” by new-media critic Matthew Fuller. *Behind theBlip* looks at the many ways in which the ostensibly neutral userinterfaces, search engines, “intelligent agents,” and word processorsthat are now part of our everyday life are actively reshaping the waywe look at and interact with the world.”While most institutions are still trying to figure out what to dowith ‘new media,’ some of the best of new-media artists and theoristshave already moved on to the next paradigm: the study of softwareculture.

    Auroras of the Zapatistas
    Local & Global Struggles of the Fourth World War
    Midnight Notes Collective

    This anthology edited by the Midnight Notes Collective does some of the work of defining the elements of the new political chemistry of the planetary working class… What the Zapatista movement means for the U.S. anti-globalization movement is still an open question more than six years since the dawning.
    The importance of the Zapatistas for Midnight Notes lies in their ability to open up a space (at great cost to themselves) wherein they are helping all of us to shape a halt to globalizing capital… Isn’t it strange that a peasant army from the poorest state of Mexico should play such an important role in the formation of a movement that can stop the headlong progress of globalizing capital? No, for we must remember that this is not the first time a “peasant revolution” (the “sickle”) has reached into the most advanced points of capitalist production (the “hammer”)....
