Reviews

"On its face, it may seem out of character: a publishing icon whose exploits helped usher in the dawn of digital media opting for an old-fashioned hardcover book for his career antholoy. That is until the first page of Jefferson Hack's We Can't Do This Alone: Hack the System is cracked - perhaps even before. With provocative imagery and textured typography, the cover itself reflects the subversive-cool, 'punk positivist' ethos the transdisciplinary Hack cultivated for decades . . . Through the lens of celebrity collaborators, artists, fellow provocateurs, muses, and many others, the book chronicles Hack's fight against safety - what he considers the most unnatural state for a creative."
