Simon Ford's book ends with: "To study and learn from the lessons of 
the SI is no idle pastime or exercise in passive contemplation. It is 
nothing if not a determined step towards the realisation of a future 
society where the SI's ideas about a useful life are no longer quite 
so exceptional."

At this point one certainly already knows that the users addressed by 
his book are of the same kind than those addressed by Wolman, Debord, 
Vaneigem and other SI members. They are the potential 
revolutionaries, just that this time they are expected to get dressed 
modestly in history, rather than in slogan. This has the potential of 
becoming a very clandestine revolution, as such possibly a successful 
one.
