Great book to read right after Fitzpatrick's. While I'm not a fan of essay collections from single authors, the book is a wonderful anarchist account from a social and technological perspective. Watson finished the job that Fitzpatrick started by eliminating much of the technical and final differences between traditional socialism and capitalism. Khrushchev's bashing of the West was not an effort to offer a different style of life, but simply more of the same; a mechanized style of life dependent on industrialism's endless cycle of production and consumptions.
Favorite quote: "In human terms, the last ten thousand years of human society represent on percent of our time on earth. The other ninety-nine percent was lived in small, stateless, propertyless, egalitarian, visionary societies like the Wintu"
