Evasion (book)

(Redirected from Evasion Book)

Evasion is a book that spun off from a zine of the same name. It catalogs the travels and exploits of a young man who decided to not get a job or go to school after high school, despite his parents wishes. Deciding that his life, freedom, and time were too valuable to be wasted working in job he would despise, to build profits for a company, he stepped outside of the confines of a traditional role in society. Hitching rides, hopping trains, dumpstering, squatting, shoplifting, contriving receipt scams, and generally sustaining himself on the excesses of our society he redefines himself and reclaims his life. The lack of oversight and security of big business play a paramount role in his plight to never ever work again. The book was published by CrimethInc in 2001.

". . . then life began, and since then we remember each dumpster, abandoned house, and foot-chase by retail security. At night, after running around, plotting and scheming, our checklist items all crossed out, we paused to think—'What to do tomorrow?' and the answer was always, 'As we please . . .'"
