Anti-Oedipus: A Guide for the Perplexed is an accessible introduction to Deleuze and Guattari's book. It summarises the text chapter by chapter, providing explanations of all the major concepts. It also explains the theories the text draws on and gives details of philosophical, cultural, political, and scientific works the authors refer to in the course of their argument. Aimed at students, scholars, activists, and the general public, the book can be read alongside or instead of Anti-Oedipus itself. It turns a complicated text full of unexplained references and difficult concepts into a simply explained but still profound theory of human psychology, ontology, the sociology of the family, comparative anthropology, sociology of capitalism, and horizontalist politics.
