digital haves digital havenots

article
will rise in selfpublishing leave worlds
digital havenots behind

under a progress paradigm
who gives a fuck about havenots

theyre something you throw
money at to alleviate
your guilt

but they have a funny way
of rising up
of striking back

we dont need your tech

all your propaganda
in service to make us
feel robbed of agency

there is no smartphone

who are you
if you dont have a facebook
if you dont have an ebook
if you dont have the app for that

"If they think you're crude, go technical; if they think you're technical, go crude. I'm a very technical boy. So I decided to get as crude as possible." - johnny mnemonic by william gibson

forward implies progress whereas were really rearranging

after what looks to our audience
like a brief hiatus
we are relaunching
this blog

as the offical arm
of forbidden books press

our plan is to publish books
on 100% home recycled paper
hand-bound
on a home made printing press
built from scavenged parts

lofty
yes
if you think of
digging in the garbage
as lofty

which yknow
you should

our structure
is a collective of volunteers
rag & bone folks
hippies
book lovers

the books will be free
the distribution will be free
the production will be free

or as near possible
as we can make it

point being to challenge
premise
that all things must come at a cost
suck on it capitalism
its a labor of love
in the face of ebooks & crapjects

we will accept solicitations at
forbiddenbooks0@gmail.com

on this blog we will continue to publish

information on our projects
on the publishing industry in general
on language use and misuse

we look forward to conspiring with you

yours for the revolution
