'Forget the nostalgia for old-school political resistance! Here is a smart guide for activism in the post-symbolic age of nomadic capital and power. CAE's brilliant analysis of our current cyberlandscape is grounded in a shockingly mystical radicality.'Miwon Kwon (editor, DOCUMENTS)'In this superb collection of essays, CAE catalogues the assault on power from the refusal of consumer-capital's work-machine to the rebellion in cyberspace. This incisive compilation makes an important critical contribution to the onslaught against authoritarian social order and the ideology of power.'Tad Kepley (editor, Anarchy: A Journal of Desire Armed)'An anarchist's Cookbook for an age of decentralized, dematerialized power, Electronic Civil Disobedience shares cultural DNA with William Burroughs' "Electronic Revolution," Guy Debord's Society of the Spectacle, Hakim Bey's Temporary Autonomous Zone, and other classics of "nomadic resistance." CAE is a flesh-eating virus on the body politic.'Mark DeryIn the age of global, nomadic capital, the CAE attempts to lay the foundation for the growth of nomadic resistance. Utilizing the tools of its enemy, the CAE suggests that a new cultural and political resistance is possible. Fusing a situationist-influenced concept of contestational art, an understanding of the parallel nature of cultural and political action borrowed from Gramsci, and a hacker's deep understanding of how new technology functions, ECD is a launch point for debating the nature of power and resistance in the information age.
