Chaos Protocols Magical Techniques for Navigating the New Economic Reality
Produktdetaljer
Biographical note
Gordon White (London) runs one of the leading chaos magic blogs, Rune Soup. He has worked nationally and internationally for some of the world's largest digital and social media companies, including BBC Worldwide, Discovery Channel, and Yelp. Gordon has presented at media events across Europe on social strategy and the changing behaviors and priorities of Generation Y. During this time, he has partied with princes, dined in castles, been mentored by a former director of a private spy agency, and even had a billionaire knight buy him bottles of champagne.<p>"Gordon White gives a master class on the hard economic realities and the kind of low down and dirty magic for which he has become famous. Pragmatic, sharp, and funny, <em>The Chaos Protocols</em> is a treasure of a book."—Peter Grey, author of <em>Apocalyptic Witchcraft</em></p> <p>"Take two parts <em>Magick Without Tears</em>, a measure of <em>The Wealth of Nations</em>, a pinch of Ian Fleming and a dash of Noel Coward and you have this almost promiscuously readable text. Whoever said books on magick can't be fabulously entertaining as well as eminently practical has obviously not read up on their Gordon White. Remedy that situation."—Chris Knowles, author of <em>The Secret History of Rock n' Roll </em>and <em>Our Gods Wear Spandex </em></p>
