At one of my favourite bookshops in the world: Jura Books, Sydney’s anarchist bookshop. Nowhere else have I seen a collection quite like this.

I hadn’t *planned* to read these two books together, but they’re turning out to be an excellently complementary pair.

Recently been re-reading Susan Marks’ A False Tree of Liberty. As a critical genealogy of human rights, it’s an unparalleled piece of work - should be read, taught, and debated a lot more!

Started watching this. Has anyone else seen it? Thoughts?

Mission accomplished.

Did not like this very much. Somewhat works as a science fiction thought experiment under lab conditions. Does not work at all as a story.

There’s been a lot of online discourse around this book, but I read it cover to cover today, and found it utterly brilliant?
