Description: "Delving into the anarchist writings of Nietzsche, Foucault, and Baudrillard and exploring the cyberpunk fiction of William Gibson and Bruce Sterling, theorist Lewis Call examines the new philosophical current in which anarchism meets post-modernism. This theoretical stream moves beyond anarchism's conventional attacks on capital and the state to criticize those forms of rationality, consciousness, and language that implicitly underwrite all economic and political power.

Call argues that postmodernism's timely influence updates anarchism, making it relevant to the political culture of the new millennium."--BOOK JACKET.
