More about the book
The true strength of this book lies in its examples. It shows how anyone can adopt the experiences suggested and delightfully narrated here to improve their lives. It offers a concrete and achievable way out of the wage labor system, allowing individuals to fulfill their deepest needs while also contributing to the advancement of collective well-being. The revolution is quietly underway in millions of different ways, and Chris Carlsson—writer, social agitator, cyclist, urban planner, and subversive—has contributed in numerous ways. This book is one of the rarest, coming from one of the founders and inventors of Critical Mass. It is rare because it is open to the future, subversive, and filled with fun yet important facts to know and share in one’s daily revolution. This book clearly and vividly explains the course of an ordinary revolution, illustrating how millions of people live within the capitalist system while creating through their activities the foundation for what could be a different world. It is an exciting and delightful book.
