Here's Your Fucking Book! (Or, Nice Hair Assholes)

From A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism & Schizophrenia:

"There is no difference between what a book talks about & how it is made...A book is a little machine...But when one writes, the only question is which other machine the literary machine can be plugged into, must be plugged into in order to work...The world has become chaos, but the book remains the image of the world: radicle-chaosmos rather than root-cosmos. A strange mystification: a book all the more total for being fragmented...The ideal for a book would be to lay everything out on a plane of exteriority of this kind, on a single plage, the same sheet." (Deleuze & Guattari 4-9)
