This book provides valuable insight into the ideas that animated Guattari's thought as well as his life. It is a superb introduction to key concepts such as schizoanalysis, transversality, a-signifying semiotics and various kinds of machine. -- Professor Paul Patton, University of New South Wales A brilliant, long overdue book. It shows once and for all that Guattari was not merely one half of one of the twentieth century's greatest intellectual collaborations, but also a powerful thinker in his own right who did a great deal to transform the way we think about the relation between individuals and society. -- Ian Buchanan, Professor of Critical and Cultural Theory, Cardiff University, founding editor of the Deleuze Studies Journal Guattarian trailblazer in the English-speaking world, Gary Genosko offers us so effective a Critical Introduction to the work of Felix Guattari that it leads its reader to think that the century of crisis in which we are currently immersed could well be Guattarian. This could affect what has been called, too simply and for too long, Deleuzian philosophy. -- Professor Eric Alliez, Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy, Middlesex University. Author of The Signature of the World: What is Deleuze and Guattari's Philosophy? (2004) and Capital Times (1994)
