"A wonderful book . informative and moving . a great recovery of an instructive life and literary effort. 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, author of the Mars Trilogy "A very imaginative, historically smart, politically generative thesis . that I think we urgently need." --Donna Haraway, author of Simians, Cyborgs, and Women: The Reinvention of Nature " Molecular Red seeks to put scholarship to work.

The result is a playbook for the Anthropocene, a set of moves and strategies extracted from an unexpected canon of texts formed by a mash-up of the Soviet avant-garde and the Californian high-tech imaginary. Remnants of the two great empires of the twentieth century are pitted against the rapacious insurgency of their twenty-first-century progeny, playfully named by Wark as the Carbon Liberation Front." -- Radical Philosophy "A call to arms in which art and leisure, science and philosophy hack into each other in order to produce a way of thinking that works on both a pragmatic (proletarian) and a philosophical (bourgeois) level. It's also his own version of Back to the Future , in which Wark comes across as a bit of a Marty McFly, dashing back to the past to proclaim new heroes and new solutions to problems in the present--principally climate change." -- Art Review.
