I've been kind of bugged by these two anarchist philosophers, due to their fancy Frenchness, obscurity, and excuses for shitty activism. Since reading Nietzsche and learning a lot as an adult and reading Guattari's early work I'm much more sympathetic. I'm currently reading Nomadology: The War Machine by these two guys and find it quite crazy and wonderful. Other takers? http://www.nomadology.com/gate.html http://www.rhizome.org/

BLAKE 3.16, I confess that I have read almost nothing of theirs and so have not earned the right to say this, but I'm going to say it anyway: Not the rhizomes! Noooo! Anything but the rhizomes! Sorry. I just had to get that out. We were ambushed once early on by a Deleuzian apostle who was into the rhizomes in a way we couldn't penetrate, so we coped with ridicule. But I'm prepared to believe that that is philistine of me/us, so I hope that you and others can discipline me out of my ignorance and philistinism. (I'm actually quite good at cultivating real rhizomes. There is an art.)
