The Turbulence crew who put together the best read at last year's G8 blockade in Heiligendamm are back with another thought-provoking and inspiring read. PDF online now.

For those of you who've already come across previous issues of Turbulence, no introduction is necessary. For the rest of you, the Turbulence collective arose out of the network of writer-activists that congealed around the Free Association projects and books reflecting on previous counter-Summit mobilisations (Evian, Genoa, Stirling, etc.). The political perspectives are eclectic and diverse but gravitate around post-autonomist and neo-libertarian communist orientations. But rather than wade through fumbling attempts to summarise or delineate their politics, the best thing is to just read them and make up your own mind. Oh yeah, I nearly forgot to mention the killer graphic design standards...

I came accross much network and systems theory from Fritjof Capra in his book:
