Autonomedia is an autonomous zone for arts radicals in both old and new media. We publish books on radical media, politics and the arts that seek to transcend party lines, bottom lines and straight lines. We also maintain the Interactivist Info Exchange, an online forum for discourse and debate on themes relevant to the books we publish. Keep up-to-date on new releases and special offers from Autonomedia. Autonomedia books can be ordered through our secure online bookstore, as well as through AK Distribution, Small Press Distribution, and outside of North America, Pluto Press. In New York City, most of our books are available at Bluestockings Books, 172 Allen Street in Manhattan. |
Akiba
In the 1980s, p.m.’s book bolo’bolo became an indispensable guide to new autonomous projects, a manual for "applied utopias" on a human scale, stressing cultural diversity, freedom of movement, ecological sustainability, and a relaxed attitude towards work — themes which remain essential in his new novel, Akiba.
Akiba combines the age-old schemes of millennial and modern utopias with recent research in ecology, quantum physics and computing, the mathematics of the Big Bang, Peak Oil theories, and the work of Roger Penrose, J. R. Searle, and others.
