The underground cult bestseller! Essays that redefine the psychogeographical nooks of autonomy. Recipes for poetic terror, anarcho -black magic, post-situ psychotropic surgery, denunciations of spiritual addictions to vapid infotainment cults - this is the bastard classic, the watermark impressed upon our minds. Where conscience informs praxis, and action infects consciousness, T.A.Z. is beginning to worm its way into above-ground culture. This book offers inspired blasts of writing, from slogans to historical essays, on the need to insert revolutionary happiness into everyday life through poetic action, and celebrating the radical optimism present in outlaw cultures. It should appeal to alternative thinkers and punks everywhere, as it celebrates liberation, love and poetic living. The new edition contains the full text of Chaos: The Broadsheets of Ontological Anarchism, the complete communiques and flyers of the Association fo Ontological Anarchy, the long essay 'The Temporary Autonomous Zone,' and a new preface by the author.

T.A.Z. by Hakim Bey cannot really be described as a "book" as such. You don't necessarily read it from cover to cover. It is, as noted, a collection of short writings taken over a long period of time. It is a book that is rather to be dipped into, here and there. Aphorisms, poems, spells, rants, ravings, and metaphysical essays all collide with each other, forming something of an explosive alchemical mix that makes sense in its senselessness and playfulness. This is poetic anarchism at its best. It exists to get you to stop thinking as you do, to explode the rational, and so open you onto the realm of the possible. And this realm is the T.A.Z.
