This book is about the possibility of organising society without the
state, but, crucially, it makes the claim, contrary to much anarchist
theory, that such a life would not entail absolute freedom; rather, as
the title suggests, it would mean creating new forms of social
organisation which, whilst offering more freedom than
state-capitalism, would nonetheless still entail certain limits to
freedom. In making this argument, a secondary point is made, which
highlights the book’s originality; namely, that, whilst anarchism is
defended by an increasing number of radicals, the reality of what an
anarchist society might look like, and the problems that such a
society might encounter, are rarely discussed or acknowledged, either
in academic or activist writings.
