Hakim Bey, het pseudoniem van Peter Lamborn Wilson, is een Amerikaanse politieke schrijver, essayist en dichter. Hij staat bekend om het voorstellen van het concept van de Tijdelijke Autonome Zone (TAZ), deels gebaseerd op een historisch overzicht van piratenutopieën. Bey is een anarchist die geassocieerd wordt met de post-linkse anarchie en het individualistisch anarchisme. Zijn werk verkent de mogelijkheden voor radicale vrijheid en alternatieve sociale structuren.

This "spiritual archaeology" of pot history, science, folklore, cuisine and belles lettres assembles the archive of the Western encounter with the "altered" indiginous Other, from North America to India and elsewhere.

Six previously uncollected essays in alternative history -- maybe even "lost/found" history -- from the author of Sacred Drift, Pirate Utopias, Heresies, riverpeople, Escape from the 19th Century, and many more. "The American Revolution As A Gigantic Real Estate Scam" establishes the acutely "revisionist" mood; -- another essay touching on early American history, "Toland, Blake and the American Druids," follows. Then, a pair of essays on the scandal of eugenics in America -- "Jukes in Utopia," about a family oppressed by Eugenicists in upstate New York, and "The Monkey Trial: A Revisionist Interpretation." Finally, two essays on anarchist themes: "The Coffeehouse Republic," on Gustav Landauer and the Munich Soviet of 1919, and "Brand: An Italian Anarchist and His Dream," on Enrico Arrigoni, "the last of the Italian left-wing Stirnerite individualists" and his amazing insurrectionism and illegalism.
