OMG the book is real! Time for a serious post, I guess…

First, some practical info: I'll talk about the book on the 23rd in Eindhoven during the Dutch Design Week (hopefully with a little surprise). Hope to see you there: https://www.facebook.com/events/481202395943565/?event_time_id=491450554918749

If you live in Rotterdam, you'll soon find the book at Varia and Printroom or you can directly ask me. Otherwise you can get it online here: https://www.onomatopee.net/product/entreprecariat/

I'd like to thank Freek and Josh from Onomatopee, who enthusiastically believed in this project. Geert Lovink and Raffaele Alberto Ventura for enriching the book with their sharp contributions. Federico Antonini and Alessio D'Ellena for the beautiful "managerial pulp" design. Francesco D'Abbraccio and Andrea Facchetti of Krisis, who made this happen in the very first place (l'edizione italiana è ancora disponibile BTW). There are many more people I'm grateful to, check page 6 to find out ;)

Ok, so here's @hackertype , my first mastodon #bot. It turn the toots into hackertype font (#lurk instance specific). Let's see how stable it is.

"Movimenti che non si consolidano sulla base di idee, ma di odio ad personam." titola L'Intellettuale Dissidente.

Ma come si fa a non capire che un qualsiasi movimento non nasce con delle idee preconcette, con una sua razionalità, bensì attraverso dei sentimenti, generalmente antagonisti. La razionalità e le idee arrivano sempre dopo, si sviluppano in seno al movimento. Il movimento è prima corpo e solo dopo, forse, diventa mente. Chiedere a un movimento di nascere idealista e costruttivo è una contraddizione in termini.
