The author of "Nowtopia. How Pirate Programmers, Outlaw Bicyclists, and Vacant-lot Gardeners are Inventing the Future Today" (AK Press, 2008). Bring a small plant.

Do you want to change the world but don't know how because you feel oppressed by the metropolis? Don't worry, come and talk about that with Chris Carlsson on Thursday, May 29th, at the bookshop Flexi. Chris will be in Rome for the Interplanetary Critical Mass.
Chris Carlsson one of the founders of the San Francisco Critical Mass, the first Critical Mass in the world, and one of the founders of the Californian magazine Processed World, the first magazine to report on the emerging conflicts in the economy of information of Silicon Valley.

"Nowtopia" is his latest book. It tells us how pirate programmers, urban bicyclists and vacant-lot gardeners are inventing the future today.
Bring along a plant from your balcony or your garden: after the chat with Carlsson, we will re-beautify Piazza degli Zingari ("Gypsies' Square") with plants and without pogroms. Yes, we can.
