Summary: "Radical simply means 'grasping at the roots'..."
Comment: A visionary wrenching of the self away from the alienation of consumerism and boredom.... but don't buy this book here! If you are interested in this book and others like it, support independent booksellers.... (AK Press is a great one)

Summary: the most important, to the point book on human life
Comment: "the revolution of everyday life" is absolutely beyond words, and for that very reason absolutely immune to all assimilation. it captures the main problem with life that we are all (perhaps even the most stupid of us) aware of but cannot quite put our finger on: a lingering emptiness, a 'nothing' where a 'something' should be. this is the magic of vaneigem's prose. he knows the real cause of it, and rightfully accuses us of ignoring and dawdling for so long: the social order and the alienation it causes. he advocates fierce rebellion, joyful suicide, above all collective revolution as an end to all isolation an ennui. vaneigem is not only a political revolutionary: he is a socioliogist, a great poet, a man of words and action. (although i'm sure he would hate me for calling him any of those things.) ultimately, he is himself, and this should be enough for us to change our lives completely. vaneigem wants no following, no idolatry; he wants what everyone really wants, change. vache, cravan, all the great dada and surrealist rebels are quoted at length in this impassioned tome which will only grow more and more important with age-actually, it really doesn't age. it is the NOW sitting in front of our eyes at every moment of every day embodied in a book. everyone in the world should read this book.
