@kendall – well, okay, Medieval theologians. Anyway it was me who pointed to the text saying I was being unfair (to theologians).

@cityeyrie – for what it’s worth your tweets were forwarded to Turnaround. Publisher said that sort of thing is very helpful actually

@cityeyrie – my publisher says “stores that just didn’t order a book will rarely admit it, usually they’ll blame the distributor”

@aaronjohnpeters – I’m told LRB is on it but don’t know details. I’m sure I can arrange to get you sent a review copy though if you need

@FalsePolitics – haven’t read the whole thing. Interesting, but for me a little too much in the old “why the West really is different” mode

@satarswitter – what can I say? I’m a prole with a crude sense of humor. Anyway only Brits will get it

@MutualArising – yes like the anarcho-capitalists, most of them seem to live in their mothers’ basements

@JamesWMolloy – precisely, who knows what technology _could_ be if we lived in a free society? we achieve despite our overlords

@JamesWMolloy – also I was serious about the robots – only capitalism prevents such tech development (i.e. the rich already have servants)

@JamesWMolloy – perhaps “progress” isn’t the best terminology, we need a new way to think about these things, less unilinear

Tue 13 Sep 2011 04:02

@JamesWMolloy – actually I think a lot of comforts are things we’d be miserable if we had to do without. i.e., I like having all my teeth

Tue 13 Sep 2011 02:19

@JamesWMolloy – well it’s not a bad one; I’m still waiting for robots that can take my laundry down, wash and fold it and carry it upstairs

@cityeyrie – funny, everyone I know (Autonomedia, MH) was acting as if they were a new more efficient distributor! Guess they got had.

Mon 12 Sep 2011 18:26

@cityeyrie – okay, Turnaround (our supposedly excellemnt distributor) is going to hear from us about this!

Mon 12 Sep 2011 17:16

@cityeyrie – why does this always happen to me? Foyles used to be okay with stocking my stuff; Waterstones, terrible

@spiritualityin – yes, my book was meant both a work of scholarship and as a small anti-fascist intervention

@JamesWMolloy – good question! In my experience most switch back and forth constantly from cynicism to believing their own ideology.

@megkrausch – Wall Street is probably the most policed public space on the planet. Also it’s a Saturday, there’s nothing to shut down.
