Expect Resistance is a self-described crimethink field manual published by CrimethInc. in 2007.
[edit] Composition
The book is composed of three books within the book that can be read separately or together. The first of these is a theoretical text which follows the investigation into modern life and its discontents which began in the collective's 2000 text Days of War, Nights of Love;[1] this section incorporates CrimethInc. material from 2000 to 2004, augmented and refined with a significant amount of new content. The second text is a novella comprised of the accounts, narrated by three contributors, of the attempts of anarchist adventurers to pursue their dreams in the real world, while the third book is an intertextual merger of the first two texts.[1]
[edit] Reception
The book was favourably received by Infoshop.org; one reviewer singled out the personal stories scattered throughout the work for particular praise,[2] whilst another lauded the book as "a field manual for a field on which all manuals are useless, a meditation on individual transformation and collective resistance in disastrous times, and a masterpiece that raises the bar for radical publishing."[3] Red Emma's infoshop also complimented the book's intertextual weaving of narrative and theory.[4]
