Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri's book Empire has attracted commentaries ranging from "a significant contribution to Marxism" to "Now, ai'’t that something?" It enjoyed a run at Wall Street bookstores and created a similar buzz on campuses and left-wing Internet lists. Hardt and Negri stress that Empire is a work of philosophy. As such, the book aims to abstract from the swirl of daily life and singular events a general picture of the social processes that have spawned the contemporary world order: the global market, global circuits of production, and a new structure of political sovereignty. Unfortunately, Empire's map of global space profoundly distorts the world as it is today.
