MOLECULAR RED - MCKENZIE WARK KARTONIERT (TB)

Of all the 'liberation movements' of the twentieth century  the one that succeeded beyond
anyone's wildest dreams did not liberate a class or a gender or a race. It liberated an
element: carbon. Today  the 'carbon liberation front' threatens to crash the entire climate
system. In Molecular Red  Wark looks for a way to understand  and perhaps even combat  this
implacable force. He revisits the work of Alexander Bogdanov--Lenin's rival--and the great
proletkult writer and engineer Andrei Platonov. In this reading  the Soviet experiment emerges
from the past as an allegory for our time. Moving toward the present  Wark reads Donna
Haraway's cyborg critique and science fiction writer Kim Stanley Robinson's Martian utopia as
powerful resources for thinking what the carbon liberation front has wrought
