Additional text
"A slim, sprightly, acerbic attack on capitalism's love affair with bureaucracy."

  • Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing

"[The Utopia of Rules] should offer a challenge to us all. Should we just accept this bureaucracy as inevitable? Or is there a way to get rid of all those hours spent listening to bad call-center music? Do policemen, academics, teachers and doctors really need to spend half their time filling in forms? Or can we imagine another world?"

  • Gillian Tett, Financial Times

"Graeber wants us to unshackle ourselves from the limits imposed by bureaucracy, precisely so we can actually get down to openly and creatively arguing about our collective future. In other words, yelling at the book is not just part of the pleasure of reading it. It's part of the point."

  • NPR.
