Solecast 50 is a discussion with New School professor, philosopher and author Mckenzie Wark. Wark is renowned as one of the forest theorists today who have dove into the works of the Situationists and built upon the ideas in interesting ways. His new book that we discuss in this interview is called “General Intellects” but his past few books; “Telethesia” “Molecular Red” and “Beach Beneath The Streets” are all great reads.
