Customer Reviews

Impressive and demented...

I thought this was wonderful. It's basically a tour de force of Deleuze, Guattari, Reagan and the first Emperor of China - and by the second chapter it all made sense to me. Ultimately it's a study of fascism, in China and in America... admittedly important places for it.

It rocks

Who in their right mind would find a connection between 212 BC China and the Reagan years in America. Obvious, these two authors are not in their right minds, and that's what makes this book so great.
