Hello,
Does the Politech listserv accept publishers' postings? For example, I
would like to post information on the following title, just published by
Harvard University Press in October 2004:
A Hacker Manifesto
by McKenzie Wark
"[Wark's] ambitious/ A Hacker Manifesto/ Googles for signs of hope in
this cyber-global- corporate-brute world of ours, and he fixes on the
hackers, macro-savvy visionaries from all fields who 'hack' the
relationships and meanings the rest of us take for granted. If we
hackers--of words, computers, sound, science, etc.--organize into a
working, sociopolitical class, Wark argues, then the world can be ours."
--Hua Hsu,/ Village Voice/
"Writers, artists, biotechnologists, and software programmers belong to
the 'hacker class' and share a class interest in openness and freedom,
while the 'vectoralist' and 'ruling classes' are driven to contain,
control, dominate, and own. Wark crafts a new analysis of the tension
between the underdeveloped and 'overdeveloped' worlds, their
relationships to surplus and scarcity, and the drive toward human
actualization."
--Michael Jensen,/ Chronicle of Higher Education/

College, New School University. He is the author of several books, most
recently/ Dispositions/.
