“Drawing creatively on heterodox traditions of Italian Marxism, the schizoanalysis of Deleuze-Guattari, the literary theory of Mikhail Bakhtin and the sociology of Gabriel Tarde, this book is an important and original contribution to the social and philosophical critique of contemporary capitalism and the delineation of post- and anti-capitalist futures.”—<b>Alberto Toscano</b>, author of, <i>Communism in Philosophy: Essays on Alain Badiou and Toni Negri</i><br /><br />“Unfailingly original and provocative, Lazzarato provides in this book an insightful analysis of contemporary capitalist society and its modes of control that is engaged deeply with both philosophical problematics and activist agendas.”—<b>Michael Hardt</b>, author of, <i>The Subversive Seventies</i>
