Hello Gangalang,
We introduced you to CHRIS CARLSSON and his book, Nowtopia awhile back!  Now, he’s coming to Buffalo and you have 2 chances to see him.
Friday Nov. 6th 1:00 pm
Center for the Arts 112 (University at Buffalo, North Campus)

Internationally-recognized author and activist Chris Carlsson lecturing on Nowtopia:  How Pirate Programmers, Outlaw Bicyclists, and Vacant-Lot Gardeners are Inventing  the Future Today!

Carlsson is the executive director of the multimedia history project
Shaping San Francisco, and has edited four collections of political and
historical essays. He is a co-founder of the alternative arts venue
CounterPULSE, helped launch the monthly bike-ins known as Critical Mass, and was the longtime editor of Processed World magazine.

In his current book Nowtopia: How Pirate Programmers, Outlaw Bicyclists, and Vacant-Lot Gardeners are Inventing the Future Today (AK Press), San Francisco-based activist and historian Chris Carlsson profiles practices that embody a deep challenge to the basic underpinnings of modern life, as a new ecologically driven politics emerges from below, reshaping our assumptions about science, technology, and human potential.

This event is sponsored by Graduate Group in Cultural Studies, Humanities Institute and Media Study GSA.  Carlsson will also take part in a panel discussion Friday evening:
