Wilbur" <swilbur-AT-wcnet.org> Subject: Re: [postanarchism] Lewis Call: "Postmodern Anarchism" I just requested a copy through my local university library. The references to cyberpunk makes me a little wary - but, hey those old 3133t memes never seem to go away - but it should be interesting to see some - presumably positive - treatment of Baudrillard. I should be able to give some sort of a review in a week or so. -shawn "J.M.
