In the 90s I used to by all the ecclectic music I could, including a lot of Bill Laswell, Praxis, and all his projects, including one with Hakim Bey. I don't recall if that's why I got Hakim's books or not (I think I'd read about it in WIRED or Mondo), but at one point I had a terrific little pocket sized of his that went with a collection of similar books - but I'd read it (sounded good but made little sense to me back then) and lent it away to someone who saw it in my tiny books collection in my Manhattan traincar appartment's bathroom (space was limited). This was a year before I'd even gone to Burning Man in 1999, and for a while I'd only regretted lending it away to not get it back because it went with the set - later to appreciate it for the Burning Man relevance, and later again after becoming a voluntarist.

On another matter, it's bothersome that Hakim Bey, aka, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Lamborn_Wilson, also advocates for pedophilia. I can't tell if this is to discredit his ideas or if he's serious or what. Disappointing, to say the least.
