Processed World. Spring 1981.

The first issue of the tech-critical, anti-capitalist magazine that satirized office work at the dawn of neoliberal cubical culture, containing short stories, articles, and spoof advertisements. The first three issues "were printed entirely on stolen paper from the banks of San Francisco" (Carlsson, quoted by Warner) and handed out on the street by volunteers. The magazine ran until 2005, producing a total of 32 issues. Becca Warner, "To end neoliberalism, we have to 'stop everything we do'", Huck, 19 June 2023. Octavo. Illustrations in text. Original wire-stitched white wrappers, covers lettered and illustrated in black and green. Small abrasion to spine, subtle crease to text block. A very good copy.
