The fall of the former prefigures that of the latter. From the ruins of these mighty histories, Wark salvages ideas to help us picture what kind of worlds collective labor might yet build. From the Russian revolution, Wark unearths the work of Alexander Bogdanov--Lenin's rival--as well as the great Proletkult writer and engineer Andrey Platonov. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Soviet experiment emerges from the past as an allegory for the new organizational challenges of our time. From deep within the Californian military-entertainment complex, Wark retrieves Donna Haraway's cyborg critique and science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson's Martian utopia as powerful resources for rethinking and remaking the world that climate change has wrought. \u003ci\u003eMolecular Red\u003c\/i\u003e proposes an alternative realism, where hope is found in what remains and endures.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMcKenzie Wark\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of\u003ci\u003e A Hacker Manifesto\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGamer Theory\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Beach Beneath the Street\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Spectacle of Disintegration\u003c\/i\u003e, among other books.
