The shadowy Swiss activist p.m. has written a masterpiece. This book deserves to be far better known than it is-- a fantastic blueprint for a post-utopian world. Whereas most "green" theorists have a tendency to sink into mere liberal preaching, p.m. gives us a glimpse of a world that OUGHT to be. No tedious sermons on recycling, condom use, or literacy. Instead, the Magus of Zurich talks about a possible world of duels, sprouting micro-religions, bizarre local cuisines, the transformation of bland existing buildings into bohemian funhouses, dramatic suicides, wild barter economics, and Tarkovskyesque railway systems.
In the early '90s I belonged to a New Mexico household that attempted to implement some of the ideas of this book. Although the project failed miserably, individual pettiness was to blame rather than p.m.'s resplendent vision of a politics that would finally confront the irreducible reality of both beneficent and lethal objects.
