Zines
The zines collected below are about community, imagination, and grassroots empowerment. They each express critique of commercial big tech, each in different ways, from political analysis and constructive alternatives to creative speculation and play. A zine is a self-published, non-commercial (or cost-recovery-only) booklet that can be about pretty much anything. They’re made with feeling, not polish, so zines are scrappy and a bit chaotic. They are, however, still creative works with moral rights. Please note and adhere to the licensing information on each zine before copying. You may be able to order a physical copy from their creators.
