DESCRIPTION:We are proud to announce the 2016 East Bay Anarchist Book & Conversation 
 Extravaganza! (EBAB)\n\nBelow are the conversations this year:\n\nMike e. - 
 Community- Building long-term projects/institutions has often been a 
 challenge for anarchists in the US. How does seeing these projects as a 
 community help their longevity, while also provide its own difficulties? 
 This presentation will be based on thoughts about the last 25 years of 
 building Suigetsukan, a martial arts collective.\n\nDaniel - Stirnerian 
 Hauntology and the Creative Nothing\n\n"In this presentation I will present 
 a series of meditations and digressions oriented around Max Stirner and the 
 anti-philosophy of egoism. Throughout, I will attempt to question the 
 hostility shown by many anarchists toward Stirner, to destabilize the 
 dichotomy between individualist and collectivist projects, and to imagine 
 an anarchy devoid of metaphysical law, essentialist identities, and 
 teleological praxis. By exploring radical subjectivity and how Stirner's 
 thought can inspire an immanent critique of all forms of coercive 
 authority, I will reflect on how we can each create an insurrectionary 
 anarchism that is immediate and for ourselves. The presentation will 
 conclude with time for questions, group discussion, and possible 
 contretemps."\n\nNick Hello From the Wired: An Introduction to 
 Cyber-Nihilism\n\nDescription: The question concerning anarchy and 
 technology is the central question for anarchists today. The recent 
 resurgence of fascist sentiment in America through the alt-right on the 
 Internet, the milestones in climate change that have been passed this year 
 alone, and the continual push for labor reforms in the third world all 
 bring technology to the forefront as a threat against autonomy, a weapon 
 against authority, and as a wildcard. Yet on the pro or anti-tech sides of 
 the debate, anarchists have tended to rely on progressivist narratives when 
 engaging with technology, while failing to address the possibility that we 
 will have to carve whatever space we can for autonomy and attack out of a 
 rapidly-expanding bio-mechanical, networked landscape.\n\nAgainst this, 
 cyber-nihilism steps into conversation with anarchy: Flung forward along 
 the force of our facticity, turned to the past, the hacker-revolutionary 
 piles fork bombs and DDoS attacks onto the techno-corporate house of 
 cards.\n\nLew - THE RESURGENCE OF THE HERMETIC LEFT: A 
 CONJURATION\n\nAlchemy, Anarchism, and Ancient Alexandria, with remarks on 
 W. Benjamin, W. Blake, W. Whitman. Inspiredby the book GREEN HERMETICISM: 
 ALCHEMY AND ECOLOGY by Peter Lambourn Wilson.\n\nand of course BOOKS! This 
 is a FREE event.\n
