There are plenty of really novel ideas here, such as the polarity of noise/order, repetition and “molds� as a way of understanding contemporary political economy, and the metaphor of “composition� for the act of making a radical new world build on the principles of tolerance and autonomy, defeating lack and alienation in the process. But ultimately I feel like the book is largely…wrong? Quite a bit of clever postmodern sleights of hand with very little in the way of materialist analysis or actionable information.
