Join My Cult is a subversive, satirical novel written by James Curcio and released by New Falcon Publications. It is a work of collaborative fiction based on real events.

Religions. Philosophies. Advertising campaigns. Gurus. Prozac. All of these drugs are sold as answers to our deepest questions: Why are we here? What truly has meaning?

For a group of young adults desperately searching for meaning in the bleak McMansion sprawls of Suburban America, these questions are of the essence. When none of the accepted avenues of thought or behavior make sense any longer, they wander into an unknown territory of magick, drug use, and shamanic exploration.

Through satire and drama, Join My Cult takes you on an inward initiatory journey and a deeply hypnotic experience. 

Tor.com is serializing Makers, Cory Doctorow's upcoming novel, which goes on sale from Tor Books in November. There will be new installments every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, until the whole thing is finished, sometime in January 2010.

Makers tells the story of a group of hardware hackers who fall in with microfinancing venture capitalists and reinvent the American economy after a total economic collapse, and who find themselves swimming with sharks, fighting with gangsters, and leading a band of global techno-revolutionaries.

The Dream People is an online magazine edited by Bizarro Fiction author D. Harlan Wilson.

"The Dream People offers an alternative. Ours is a mirage brought on by the thirst for a fresh approach, a slip inside the cracks between what we are told is acceptable, a new (ir)reality which defies definition. We hope to provide authors & readers alike with an oasis in the cultural desert that surrounds us. Join us for a dance through the palatial ruins of conformity & discover for yourself that its pillars support nothing at all..."

How the world became a corporation and how to take it back.

In his new book Douglas Rushkoff traces how corporations went from a convenient legal fiction to the dominant fact of contemporary life. He reveals the roots of our debacle, from the late Middle Ages to today. As the speculative economy collapses under its own weight, Life Inc. shows how to build a real and human-scaled society to take its place. Rushkoff sees the current financial crisis as an opportunity to reinstate commerce and communities based in creating value for one another, rather than continuing to extract it for the benefit of institutions that no longer exist.
