Zusatztext “ Occupy! abounds with insights on how the occupiers have dealt with internal challenges to their experiment in direct democracy.”—Andrew Ross! Guardian “Both analytical and full of vivid experience ...

Observer “Unlike most quickie publications! the book is gorgeous! a testament to beautiful book design ... the essays are thoughtful pieces of first-person reportage. [A] clear-eyed and sober examination of the dream world that we created this fall! along with a few brief! tentative explorations of what it will become in the future.
