Through a mixture of ideas drawn from artistic avant-garde movements as well as new social and religious movements, it examines the radical political and hedonist imaginaries of the experimental fringes of the UK Underground. Even though the theatres of operation have changed more than once since 1991 with the rise of the internet and a globalised finance economy, these imaginaries still raise questions that speak directly to the contemporary. My central inquiry examines the relations between collective practices with an explicit agenda of cultural revolution and discourses of direct revolutionary action, cultural guerrilla warfare and patchwork spirituality, all aiming to generate new forms of social life.

  • An Interviewwith Keith Laumer
    No. 45 February 1973 An Interview With Keith Laumer Why science fiction? Well, I write science fiction because the kind of story I like to write is called science fiction by those who like to read them. I’ve always been intrigued by subjects such as astronomy, archaeology, historical geology, etc., and by the possibilities inherent in technology. How I write? I always start my plots from the middle. That is, the nucleus of the idea usually comes into my mind in the form of a scene, a situation involving a character. This, of course, is a situation which interests me. I then build backwards to discover how the character got into this situation. Thereafter, I examine the situation for its true significance; the thing that made it seem meaningful or provocative to me in the first place. The significance arising from the climactic situation comprises the conclusion of the story. A good plot is one that holds the interest of the reader, a bad plot is one that doesn’t. I sometimes write an outline for a novel when it’s required in order to sign a contract. Thereafter I ignore the outline almost completely. I’m always eager to get back to work on a novel in progress because I want to find out what happens next. Sometimes I introduce novelty into the story by switching roles; the character who had been ear-marked as the villain, I turn into the good guy and vice versa. I have sometimes been surprised to have a reader announce that something was obvious from the beginning of the story when it was far from obvious to me when I was writing it.
