Ebook: Beneath the Underground

Bob Black is an anarchist satirist, as corrosive and subversive as the breed gets... Provocative, visionary humor of Twainian, Biercian ferocity and zest. "Black outwrites every other political essayist alive... fastest pun in the West." - Hakim Bey.

Beneath the Underground is the first in-depth exploration, from within, of the rapidly growing cultural phenomenon which received its name from author Bob Black: the "marginals milieu." You could also call it the do-it-yourself subculture. It consists of the perhaps 20,000 self-publishers of micro-circulation "zines" and other self-produced art, music, pamphlets, and posters.

Bob Black has been a major figure in this subculture since the late 1970s. His previous books, The Abolition of Work and Other Essays (1986) and Friendly Fire (1981), collect some of his contributions to the milieu. In this book, he illuminates the zine milieu itself.
