Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition, Limited Edition. Offset-printed zine Approx. 4,000 copies Launched San Francisco in 1981, Processed World was a radical underground Anti-technology magazine created by office workers who turned their frustration with the rise of technology & automation into sharp critique and biting satire. Now recognized as a seminal document of late-20th-century labor resistance, Processed World captured the voices of the overlooked workforce at the dawn of the computer age—workers who fought back with wit, rebellion, and radical imagination.
