Some advance praise for Jason Schwart’z John the Posthumous, a literary marvel now available for pre-order:

“After reading Jason Schwartz, it’s difficult to talk about any other writer’s originality or unique relation to the language. John the Posthumous is a work of astounding power and distinction, beautifully strange, masterful.” —Sam Lipsyte

“[Schwartz] is complete, as genius agonizingly is.” —Gordon Lish

“Haunting, original prose by a writer unlike any other on the planet. Jason Schwartz is a master.”  —Ben Marcus

Our author Andrew Smart, whose Autopilot: The Art & Science of Doing Nothing is coming out this month, would agree.

This month we’re publishing Hacking Politics, which details the anti-SOPA movement, and includes an oral history of how geeks, progressives, the tea party, gamers, anarchists, and suits defeated special interests and saved the internet. Along with the book, we’re launching a web and mobile-friendly version of the oral history (Hacking Politics: TLDR), which you can check out here. It’s beautiful. We recommend it.
