#BECOMING009 COMING SOON
Multiplication of Organs Manifesto: Body, Technology, Identity, Desire (2025)
by Christian Nirvana Damato, Vincenzo Estremo & Franco Berardi
13x19150 pagesB&W€12
“One may think that the history of the human culture is going to be enormously impoverished by the disappearance of the body, one may think that, on the contrary, human culture has been enriched by the renounce to presence and physical contact. It is not the intention of Damato to save this dilemma, His intention is rather to open a new field of investigation, and possibly to start a reflection on a more advanced dilemma: will the change of perception make possible the emergence of a new ontology, or is the disappearance of the body going to mark the final dissolution of human life itself?” — Franco ‘bifo’ Berardi
Estimated July 2025

#BECOMING004c NEW EDITION
In the Delirium of the Simulation: Baudrillard Revisited (2025)
by Achim Szepanski, Alessandro Sbordoni
13x19cm230 pagesB&W€15
From Finance, to non-philosophy and radical experimental music, Szepanski is an anomalous and unique theoretician with one hell of a history. This is a monumental work that represents a life-time of developing a unique understanding of Marxism into a fully-fledged notion of Szepanskian Economics. This third edition features an afterword by Alessandro Sbordoni & several appendices, including a new translation & edit of “Taylor Swift Does Not Exist”.

Unconscious/Television (2025)
by Lucas Ferraço Nassif
A5218 pagesColour€18
This book stems from the author’s discontents with Lacanian Psychoanalysis, by drawing from psychoanalysts like Félix Guattari and Sándor Ferenczi, as well as authors like Viveiro DeCastro, and Thomas Lamarre, to whom the book is dedicated. Unconscious/Television was arranged in an experimental way, through subdivisions and shuffling of material; the book is, as Christine Greiner said in her endorsement: “like a book-becoming-film”.

Christian Eschatology of Artificial Intelligence (2024)
by Giorgi Vachnadze
11x18185 pagesB&W€12
“This is a hysterical book!”
Giorgi Vachnadze took two negatives, Artificial Intelligence and Christianity, and made a plus, through a process of smashing the two discourses together. The author describes their process as involving a double-lens of Foucault & Wittgenstein, though in their elaborations on the Machine and the Flesh, he creates some curious fusions between Wittgenstein and an unlikely collaborator: Deleuze. This collage of scripture and technological discourse produces unexpected outcomes, and is highly valuable in how it recodes signs, and how it produces alternative possibilities in the discourse of Machines, Thinking and Calculation.

Semiotics of the End: Essays on Capitalism & the Apocalypse (2024)
by Alessandro Sbordoni, Matt Bluemink
11x18118 pagesB&W€12
Second edition featuring an afterword from Matt Bluemink (Institute of Network Cultures). This book, superbly titled, contains 14 essays that investigate the semiotics of the end, “as just another sign of semiocapitalism”. There is no Apocalypse to come, it has, in a sense, already happened—if every end is a beginning, then there is no end to the reproduction of the world in accordance with the semio-logic of capitalism, which auto-generates as infinitely as the internet’s Backrooms do.

Dialogues on CoreCore & the Contemporary Online Avant-Garde (2024)
by 0nty & OnmyComputer (Eds.)
A5230 pagesColour€20
Where do you begin with a book like this; a book containing dialogues on a micro contemporary avant-garde video art movement on social media called “CoreCore”? It is, as “0nty”, the lead editor said, more of a toll booth; this book ensures no possiblity for the artists to be cut out of the loop when the academics arrive en scene. That aside, it is a fascinating collection of texts on cultural theory, psychoanalysis and philosophy, which, as filmmaker and contributor Mischa Dols said: “has no right to be as good a book as it is; it wasn’t supposed to actually be good”.
Contains a mass of visual art from upward of 140 contributors. Monumental book.
“This is an important cultural object” — Dana Dawud

Where Does a Body Begin? Biology’s function in contemporary capitalism (2023)
by MYB, & i0 xen0
11x18cm111 pagesB&W€12
“Wow, Germans really want to know where the body begins” — MYB
This is Berlin’s favourite book, written by an anonymous project that bares the name “Meltdown Your Books”, who everyone knows from Instagram. This book draws from a lot of exposure to the integrated relationships between Biology on the one hand, in terms of education, research, pharmaceuticals and so on, and Capital on the other—the Corporate/Institutional connection. This was written whilst the author was pursuing a Ph.D in a specific field of biology, one that requires a lot of consideration of mathematical modelling and cybernetics. It’s entertaining and insightful, and unique in its own right.

Affects & Dreams: a manual for Becoming (2023)
by niko mas
11x18cm122 pagesB&W€12
This text was an attempt to contextualise Becoming Press. It is a history of the project, but a history written in a way that attempts to convey concepts that were important to the editorial line at that time, which was posed as somewhere between “Queer Cynicism” and “Quantum Sociology”. It is a personal book, mostly, and bizarrely, about a radio show, a radio show which bridged several projects and set in motion what would eventually be Becoming Press as you know it.
This book will not be reprinted.
