None of these cruelties represent extraordinary violence--they reflect day-to-day implementation of laws and regulations around the globe. Every page of the book questions our current world of walls and fences, police tactics and prison cells, crowd control and refugee camps. The dry and factual style of storytelling through technical drawings is the graphic equivalent to bureaucratic rigidity born of laws and regulations. The level of detail depicted in the illustrations of the book mirrors the repressive efforts taken by authorities around the globe.</p><p>The 21st century shows a general striving for an ever more regulated and protective society. Yet the scale of authoritarian intervention and its stealth design adds to the growing difficulty of linking cause and effect. By bluntly showing the designs, <i>Handbook of Tyranny</i> gives a profound insight into the relationship between political power, territoriality and systematic cruelties.</p><p><b>Theo Deutinger</b> is an architect, writer and designer of sociocultural maps. He has regular lecture and teaching engagements with various institutions, including Harvard University Graduate School of Design, Strelka Institute Moscow and the Bauhaus in Dessau.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A highly sophisticated and genuinely thoughtful design.--Julian Rose "Bookforum"<br><br>To spread Handbook of Tyranny in your lap and absorb the visual shock and textual impact of Deutinger's diagrams and terse analyses is to gaze upon a global condition. One benefit - we get to move beyond the noise of our own wall dramas and recognize that the movement and constraint of peoples is the main challenge presented to all territories.--Ron Slate "On the Seawall"<br>
