​This work of speculative fiction by M.E. O'Brien and Eman Abdelhadi is a look back at the end of capitalism from the perspective of the commune that helped force a new social order in the ashes of systemic collapse.

​"Nurses, sex workers, antifascist militants, and survivors of all stripes recall the collapse of life as they knew it and the emergence of a collective alternative," they write. "Their stories, delivered in deeply human fashion, together outline how ordinary people's efforts to survive in the face of crisis contain the seeds of a new world.

​A post-apocalyptic book that's as thrilling as it is depressing for us stuck here in the past. Get your copies from East Bay Booksellers!
