‘Ian Buchanan is to Deleuze and Guattari what Stavoj Žižek is to Lacan. He uses history and humour to explain one of the twentieth century’s most important works’.
Claire Colebrook, Professor of English Literature University of Edinburgh, UK.
‘This book is indispensable for both devotees of Deleuze/Guattari and critics of contemporary capitalism.’
William E. Connolly, Krieger-Eisenhower Professor of Political Sciences, Johns Hopkins University, USA.
