"A wonderful book ... informative and moving ... a great recovery of an instructive life and literary effort. The book makes the case for a kind of political vision and action we need to recognize and enact. A true pleasure to read."<br><b>--Kim Stanley Robinson, author of the Mars Trilogy</b> <p/> "A very imaginative, historically smart, politically generative thesis ... that I think we urgently need."<br><b> --Donna Haraway, author of <i>Simians, Cyborgs, and Women: The Reinvention of Nature</i></b> <p/> "<i>Molecular Red</i> seeks to put scholarship to work. The result is a playbook for the Anthropocene, a set of moves and strategies extracted from an unexpected canon of texts formed by a mash-up of the Soviet avant-garde and the Californian high-tech imaginary. Remnants of the two great empires of the twentieth century are pitted against the rapacious insurgency of their twenty-first-century progeny, playfully named by Wark as the Carbon Liberation Front."<br><b> --<i>Radical Philosophy</i></b> <p/> "A call to arms in which art and leisure, science and philosophy hack into each other in order to produce a way of thinking that works on both a pragmatic (proletarian) and a philosophical (bourgeois) level. It's also his own version of <i>Back to the Future</i>, in which Wark comes across as a bit of a Marty McFly, dashing back to the past to proclaim new heroes and new solutions to problems in the present--principally climate change."<br><b>--<i>Art Review</i></b>
