![]() In this book, famed radical activist Abbie Hoffman lays out how to live free in America in the 1970s. Chapter topics range from getting free food and entertainment, to how to start an underground newspaper, to how to construct a smoke bomb. Hoffman is so deeply against The Man to the point that he would rather you steal his own book than pay for it (unless you patronize a small independent store). I do not remember where I heard about this book, but I was excited to get my hands on it. Hoffman's philosophy is loud and clear in the guide book and I really learned a lot about the systems in America. As of my reading on 2019, it was vastly clear how much culture and structure has stayed the same since 1970 and how much has changed (for example, Hoffman explains how to get free airfare by discreetly slipping into the line to board the plane and flashing an empty envelope to the gate agent... as if that would get you a seat on a flight today). This is a good book for radicals of all ages, though not for the faint of heart.
