This book is an urgent call for artists, designers, architects and communicators to re-engage with the world.

Adbusters magazine was founded in the late 1980s calling itself 'a journal of the mental environment'. Since then, each issue has focused on confronting mass consumption and blind devotion to corporate identities. Design Anarchy, a new book by Adbusters founder and publisher Kalle Lasn, is not only a worthy compilation of some of the journal's great moments, but a jolt (which Kalle defines as a "technical event" that forces one's mind to take notice and search for meaning, even if there is none) for consumers oblivious to the political, cultural, and ethical issues behind their mindless consumption.
