This Wednesday, we'll be hosting anarchist writer @rechelon who has recently published a new book on the conflict between postmodernists and scientists in the the late 20th century. William will be joined in conversation by mathematical physicist @mmarcolli who has described the book as "a lucid and detailed analysis" of how left-leaning postmodernists gave birth to a fascist resurgence that's ensnared millions in an "alternative reality."

"Did The Science Wars Take Place?" returns to an infamous conflict across radical subcultural spaces and academia to examine its lingering influence on the Left and the Right today, with an eye towards what anarchists and activists can take away. Simultaneously a gossipy account of historical drama among radicals and a studious engagement within contemporary philosophy of science, it provides a discursive autopsy and political analysis that will surprise most readers.

You can register for this free event, and find your copy of "Did the Science Wars Take Place?", at https://firestorm.coop/events/3479-the-political-ethical-stakes-of-radical-realism.html. Not able to make the event live? Sign up anyway and we'll send you the recording to consume at your leisure!
