Seven years later, The Invisible Committee follows up their premonitory manifesto with a new book, <i>To Our Friends</i>.</p><p>From The Invisible Committee: </p><p><i>In 2007 we published </i>The Coming Insurrection <i>in France. It must be acknowledged that a number of assertions by the Invisible Committee have since been confirmed, starting with the first and most essential: the sensational return of the insurrectionary phenomenon. Who would have bet a kopeck, seven years ago, on the overthrow of Ben Ali or Mubarak through street action, on the revolt of young people in Quebec, on the political awakening of Brazil, on the fires set French-style in the English or Swedish </i>banlieues<i>, on the creation of an insurrectionary commune in the very heart of Istanbul, on a movement of plaza occupations in the United States, or on the rebellion that spread throughout Greece in December of 2008?</i></p><p><i>During the seven years that separate </i>The Coming Insurrection <i>from </i>To Our Friends<i>, the agents of the Invisible Committee have continued to fight, to organize, to transport themselves to the four corners of the world, to wherever the fires were lit, and to debate with comrades of every tendency and every country. Thus </i>To Our Friends <i>is written at the experiential level, in connection with that general movement. Its words issue from the turmoil and are addressed to those who still believe sufficiently in life to fight as a consequence.</i></p><p>To Our Friends <i>is a report on the state of the world and of the movement, a piece of writing that's essentially strategic and openly partisan. Its political ambition is immodest: to produce a shared understanding of the epoch, in spite of the extreme confusion of the present.</i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>From crisis capitalism to cybernetics, and from infrastructure to political destitution and the commune, <i>To Our Friends </i>engages in lively and innovative ways with the contemporary situation.--<i>Antipode</i>--<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>The Invisible Committee is a collective and anonymous pen name.</p>
