A Thousand Plateaus is the second part of Deleuze and Guattari's landmark philosophical project, Capitalism and Schizophrenia - a project that still sets the terms of contemporary philosophical debate. Written over a seven year period, A Thousand Plateaus provides a compelling analysis of social phenomena and offers fresh alternatives for thinking about philosophy and culture. Its radical perspective provides a toolbox for 'nomadic thought' and has had a galvanizing influence on today's anti-capitalist movement.

This is a profound book. But do not buy this edition. I have had two seperate copies that have had the same fault with the binding, and amazon have confirmed that it is a recurring problem with this edition's manufacture. The edition looks lovely but is of terrible quality.

A Thousand Plateaus is an absolute necessity for any
serious reader of contemporary philosophy. Deleuze and
Guattari correctly predicted the intensification of the
stratification of "civilized society" by 1980; they also
presaged the World Wide Web and declared their deep
suspicions about any and all massive systems for networking
humankind before the web ever existed. Their anarchic call
for radical individual autonomy never sounded truer than now.
(A noteworthy additional book to seek from their giant
bibliography: Pierre Clastres' Society Against the State.)

This is a book that challenges traditional philosophy stylistically and conceptually. The creative terminology applied by D & G fits their Nietzschean strand of philosophical thought nicely, even when it becomes difficult to follow at times. Subjects varying from linguistics to psychoanalysis are covered in a refreshingly non-linear order. Together with Anti-Oedipus, this book can inspire.
