Class Wargames: Ludic Subversion Against Spectacular Capitalism


Add your own review!

Overview

Why should radicals be interested in playing wargames? Surely the Left can have no interest in such militarist fantasies? Yet Guy Debord placed such importance on his invention of The Game of War that he described it as the most significant of his accomplishments. Fusing together historical research on avant-garde artists, political revolutionaries and military theorists, with narratives of five years of public performances, Class Wargames provides a strategic and tactical manual for subverting the economic, political and ideological hierarchies of neoliberal capitalism.

In a world become 'game-ified' against its will, Class Wargames provides the field manual for the only game that matters - that of history. -McKenzie Wark, author of The Beach Beneath the Street and Gamer Theory.


In a world become 'game-ified' against its will, Class Wargames provides the field manual for the only game that matters - that of history. -McKenzie Wark, author of The Beach Beneath the Street and Gamer Theory. Richard Barbrook's approach to the Situationist International is so left field, he leaves virtually every other author addressing the subject looking like a dull academic plodder. Were he still alive, Barbrook's fellow iconoclast Guy Debord would heartily approve of such unacceptable theory. -Stewart Home
