- Finally, back in print again, the essential handbook for all of us still alienated by modern capitalism. Together with Debord, Vaneigem was the main theorist of Situationist ideas.

"We have a world of pleasures to win, and nothing to lose but boredom.......You want to fuck around with us? Not for long."
