Deleuze, Gilles and Felix Guattari.
   Nomadology: The War Machine.  Trans. Brian Massumi.
   New York: Semiotext(e), 1986.

In this daring essay inspired by Nietzsche, Gilles
Deleuze and Félix Guattari redefine the relation
between the state and its war machine. Far from being
a part of the state, warriers (the army) are nomads
who always come from the outside and keep threatening
the authority of the state. In the same vein, nomadic
science keeps infiltrating royal science, undermining
its axioms and principles. Nomadology is a speedy,
pocket-sized treatise that refuses to be pinned down.
Theorizing a dynamic relationship between sedentary
power and "schizophrenic lines of flight," this volume
is meant to be read in transit, smuggled into urban
nightclubs, offices, and subways.

Deleuze and Guattari propose a creative and resistant
ethics of becoming-imperceptible, strategizing a
continuous invention of weapons on the run. An
anarchic bricolage of ideas uprooted from
anthropology, aesthetics, history, and military
strategy, Nomadology carries out Deleuze's desire to
"leave philosophy, but to leave it as a philosopher."
