'Under the grim pressures of 20th century history, and now climate change, Gittlitz shows how explosions of black political humour also contain utopian hopes very necessary to keep alive. As an advocate of Partially Automated Adequate Socialism I can only agree, and applaud this fine addition to leftist history' - Kim Stanley Robinson, award-winning author of the Mars Trilogy
'This book has it all: Trotskyist drama, South American revolutions and aliens from inner and outer space. What's not to like?' - McKenzie Wark, author of 'Capital Is Dead: Is This Something Worse?'
'A provocative and clear-eyed account of communist lunacy, its costs, and why we might need it anyway' - Malcolm Harris, author of 'Kids These Days: Human Capital and the Making of Millennials'
