Synopsis:

As the disasters of capitalism's current crisis continue to batter the world, Black Box: A Record of the Catastrophe is a device for recording, analysing and transmitting events as they happen. The first volume contains an eclectic but accessible collection of reportage, interviews and letters from some of the brightest minds in critical theory. Its authors have sent dispatches from US prison yards, shipping graveyards of India, fatal drone strikes, roads crisscrossing the Mississippi Delta, childhoods in Zimbabwe and kitchens staffed by undocumented workers.

About the Author: The Black Box Collective emerged after several years of symposia, reading groups, philosophy camps and wood splitting. The poets, journalists, academics, metaphysicians, artists and strategists of the collective gather regularly at a retired dairy farm in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains north of Seattle to explore themes of consciousness, community and circulation of the communizing current - and to discover and assemble a critique that will wake us from the dream world that is seamlessly reproduced by capitalist culture. The first volume of BLACK BOX was assembled by Nadya Zimmerman, Eirik Steinhoff, Stuart Smithers, Brendan Kiley and Bethany Jean Clement, with assistance from many others.
