Hardt and Negri's "Empire"

[GGordonLippy at aol.com]

Prompted by the LBO review, I got a copy of Empire and have been working on 
it for a few weeks now, and I think I'm at the point where I could engage in 
some useful discussions if anyone out there is interested, or could direct me 
to a discussion group. I am looking for a hopeful politics after years of 
bitterness and, since 89, utter confusion. This book seems to promise a kind 
of hope and a handle on the post Cold War World; anyone share this sense? 

It'd be great also to hear from anyone taking issue with the book, of course. 
It's dialogue I'm after.
