Contemporary culture has eliminated both the concept of the public   
and the figure of the intellectual. Former public spaces – physical and cultural – are now either derelict or colonized by advertising. A cretinous anti-intellectualism presides, cheerled by expensively   
educated hacks in the pay of multinational corporations who reassure their bored readers that there is no need to rouse themselves from their interpassive stupor. The informal censorship internalized and propagated by the cultural workers of late capitalism generates a   
banal conformity that the propaganda chiefs of Stalinism could only   
ever have dreamt of imposing. Zer0 Books knows that another kind of discourse – intellectual without being academic, popular without   
being populist – is not only possible: it is already flourishing, in the regions beyond the striplit malls of so-called mass media and the   
neurotically bureaucratic halls of the academy. Zer0 is committed to the idea of publishing as a making public of the intellectual. It is   
convinced that in the unthinking, blandly consensual culture in which   
we live, critical and engaged theoretical reflection is more important than ever before.
