Manuel De Landa is a distinguished writer, artist and philosopher.

In his new book, he offers a fascinating look at how the contemporary world is characterized by an extraordinary social complexity.

Since most social entities, from small communities to large nation-states, would disappear altogether if human minds ceased to exist, Delanda proposes a novel approach to social ontology that asserts the autonomy of social entities from the conceptions we have of them.

About the Author: Manuel De Landa is a distinguished writer, artist and philosopher.

He began his career in experimental film, later becoming a computer artist and programmer.

He is now Professor of Philosophy in the Department of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania, USA.
