This book is a response to the Invisible Committee's previous work, The Coming Insurrection. It revisits some of that book, which I have not read and don't fully understand the links. However, as a standalone work, this is interesting if often overly dogmatic. Laying out the entanglements between political, technological and social power with a pantagruelist humour throughout. Not really eye-opening but it draws some interesting connections, the most interesting being the presentation of crisis as a political tool, something that feels increasingly relevant.
