This collection of essays covers aspects of anarchist thought and activity from "New Age" travellers, punk music, the radical environmental movement, direct queer action, Mr Blobby and the "Ten Days that Shook the World". The contributors pose questions concerning relationships between people, technology, culture and power within the complex configurations of the postmodern world, and seek to offer a different political and cultural perspective for the millennium.
