Synopsis:

What do you remember about the Covid-19 pandemic crisis? And what have you forgotten?

Do you remember, in the midst of it all, our adamant refusal to ever "return to normal"? Maybe the "old normal" hasn't returned, but the "new normal" foisted upon us by the state and capital is a far cry from any anarchists' aspirations.

Do you remember, in the face of catastrophe, the sudden failure of the flimsy neoliberal state? Have you forgotten the thousands of mutual aid groups that formed in response? Do you remember how that energy was repressed and co-opted?

This book aims to jolt us out of our collective amnesia, reject the state-serving narrative, and blow away the clouds of jaded cynicism. These twelve chapters chart anarchist responses to the crisis and the evolving imposition of the "new normal," reminding us of the critical lessons learned through the Covid-19 pandemic and its aftermath.
