Post-scarcity anarchism

This book is mostly concerned with the idea that technology CAN produce a post-scarcity society, but if you're expecting a clear picture of what that looks like or what it entails, you're going to be disappointed. I read the third edition which included "Listen, Marxist!" which includes a very valuable anarchist reading of the October Revolution and how power was consolidated.

When Bookchin is rattling off all of the things his enlightened anarchist society can cast off, a lot of it is feminine. It doesn't invalidate the book but it does highlight some of his limitations as a social thinker.

I grabbed this off The Anarchist Library and fixed all of the OCR errors that were made in its production as I read through so if you're looking for a nice digital edition, I can recommend it.

It was good man like even if you don't f**k with what Bookchin writes about you have to admit he's a damn good writer, and paints a beautiful picture of a potential utopian society. I would like more of a "how" to get there but there's obvious limitations to that considering when the book was written. Leaves me wondering what Bookchin would think of the world now and how close we are to achieving post-scarcity anarchism. It's a good read though, I'd recommend this book first to anyone wanting to jump into social ecology.
