French edition
Les presses du réel – Criticism, theory & documents – ArTeC

Benjamin H. Bratton - E-flux journal - Dispute Plan to Prevent Future Luxury Constitution
2016
English edition
Sternberg Press - E-flux journal
Benjamin H. Bratton's kaleidoscopic theory-fiction links the utopian fantasies of political violence with the equally utopian programs of security and control. Equal parts Borges, Burroughs, Baudrillard, and Black Ops, Dispute Plan to Prevent Future Luxury Constitution charts a treacherous landscape filled with paranoid master plans, failed schemes, and dubious histories.
