Before Chris Carllson was working with one collective inventing Critical Mass, he was working with a different collective, creating the zine "Processed World". Here is a wonderful collection of writings and graphics from the first twenty issues of (the now legendary) zine. Dedicated to giving voice to be benumbed foot-soldiers of the information age, it contains blistering first-hand accounts of life at the bottom of the ladder in big banks, defense contractors, computer manufacturers, and food processing factories. In these pages the service economy and the new high tech jobs are exposed for their absurd banality, their essential uselessness, and the Catch-22 that permeates all corporate life under modern capitalism. Moving at bike messenger speed between offices, contributors describe the hazards of office computers and how to sabotage, mutant culture in Silicon Valley, the new transience undercutting links at work, the connections between time and money, bosses and secretaries, resistance and resignation. It provides a unique basis for new developments in the struggle for liberation, and assures thousands of isolated rebels mired in dead-end jobs they are not alone.
