The book makes the case for a kind of political vision and action we need to recognize and enact. A true pleasure to read.
- Kim Stanley Robinson, [for Molecular Red]
A very imaginative, historically smart, politically generative thesis . that I think we urgently need.
- Donna Haraway, [for Molecular Red]
Wark is a fine aphorist ... Playful, angry, depressed, celebratory, this is a book for anyone not convinced that there is no alternative to the way we live now.
- Observer, [For The Beach Beneath the Streets]
Brings to the task a necessary sympathy, an encyclopedic knowledge, and a certain stylistic irrepressibility
- Times Literary Supplement, [For The Beach Beneath the Streets]
