There a great half hour interview with Chris Carlsson on Steppin' Out of Babylon:

"Carlsson gives a hard-edged critique of work and society based on working for money. He reviles the current system of “wage slavery” which forces us to take jobs and do as we are told to earn money, thereby relinquishing our control over the world. We no longer think of ourselves subjectively as political agents who can make a difference in the world through our livlihoods. In fact, he feels that a huge percentage of the “work” currently being done is a complete waste of time, if not actually destructive of the planet-- such work as banking, insurance, real estate, advertising, military production and destruction, production of shoddy products designed to breakdown and be constantly replaced, etc. His vision of radical political change involves a deep transformation of our lives and approach to work. There are some signs though that a radical, community based revolution is beginning to grow and take shape. His new book, Nowtopia, extends his analysis of our current systems and documents how people apply their time and technological know-how to create a better world when they are not working for money. He calls for a move beyond the logic of money, markets and wage labor as the fundamental institutions which guide our society."

Are the meetings in Leeds going to be recorded and could MP3's be posted to Indymedia for those of us who probably won't be able to make it...?

... although they're more likely to be .oga s than .mp3 s

Anyone interested in helping out with a/v recording for this or other events please get in touch, I'm not an expert - I just do what I can.

If anyone can't make the Leeds date, you could catch him in Newcastle -

I'm planning to put an audio recording up here for people who can't make it to either.
