Speed-Speed-Speedfreak

A Fast History of Amphetamine

Mick Farren

Elvis Presley, The Hell’s Angels, Hunter S. Thompson, Truman Capote, the Beatles, Hank Williams, the Manson Family, Jack Kerouac, Johnny Cash, JFK, Adolf Hitler: All the above were, at one time or another, to put it bluntly, speedfreaks. Speed-Speed-Speedfreak traces the criminal and cultural use of amphetamine and its unholy growth through each new and destructive cycle. The book is printed in the shape of a Dextroamphetamine capsule. Is it a homage? We think it is.

The Compleat Motherfucker

A History of the Mother of All Dirty Words

Jim Dawson

Motherfucker is two separate Anglo-Saxon words — one sacred. one profane — locked together by constant usage like two pieces of wet soap. The term began as a common insult, “Mother fucker,” to denigrate a son by insulting his mother. The U.S. Supreme Court (Keefe v. Geanakos, 1969) called it “a vulgar term for an incestuous son” that is “admittedly highly offensive.” Motherfucker once had the power of an incantation that could set mild-mannered men into fits of homicidal fury. Even today, many Americans believe it’s a linguistic toxin that poisons the air when breathed aloud. But others look upon it as a neutral or even positive term. Motherfucker can mean anything, or nothing at all. The Compleat Motherfucker examines and investigates the usage of both the offensive and celebratory word.

Twilight of the Machines

By John Zerzan

The mentor of the green anarchist and neo-primitive movements is back with his first book in six years, confronting civilization, mass society, modernity and technoculture.
