Reviews
This is a fascinating narrative of what it's like to work as a genuine, authentic worker producing real goods in a physical dimension. Someday this book may be viewed as long-gone nostalgia, but perhaps not! Read And Enjoy...--V. Vale, founder of Search & Destroy and RE/Search, Research Publications Felix Guattari once wrote that 'it is not only species that are becoming extinct but also the words, phrases and gestures of human solidarity.' Tapp's journal/memoir, an exploration of a single workers strike in the age of surveillance and the police state, helps us work against this disaster perceived by Guattari years ago.
