<p>Cultural Writing. Springtime in the New Millenium. They are buying and patenting the DNA of every lifeform. They will design your baby, and they will design the E-Coli in its colon. They will make the word organic mean what they want it to mean. They will use 100 times more energy than you because they know better. We can take our community gardens and move somewhere else if we don't like progress. Yeah, go somewhere where the sun of Global Capital don't shine. And stay there. Okay, then. This book is headed in that direction. Want to tag along? Edited by Peter Lamborn Wilson and Bill Weinberg, with texts by Miekal And, Bernadette Cozart, Jack Collom, Sarah Ferguson, Joe Hollis, Lyx Ish, Bernadette Mayer, Carmelo Ruiz, Bill Weinberg, Peter Lamborn Wilson, and John Wright.</p>
