Condensed Chaos provides a practical introduction to Chaos Magic, one of the fastest growing areas of Western Occultism. Through it you can change your circumstances, live according to a developing sense of personal responsibility, effect change around you, and stop living as a helpless cog in some clockwork universe. All acts of personal/collective liberation are magical acts. Magic leads us into exhilaration and ecstasy; into insight and understanding; into changing ourselves and the world in which we participate. Through magic we may come to explore the possibilities of freedom.

William S. Burroughs, author of Naked Lunch says:
"Phil Hine's book is the most concise statement ... of the logic of modern magic. Magic, in the light of modern physics, quantum theory and probability theory is now approaching science. We hope that a result of this will be a synthesis so that science will become more magical and magic more scientific."

"Phil Hine is one of the leading exponents of what is likely the fastest growing school of thaumaturgy: Chaos Magick." — James Martin, Abrasax Magazine

"Most modern books on magic are not worth reading. To his credit, Phil Hine has produced a tour de force which should be studied." — Ian Read, Editor, Chaos International

"Phil Hine shows himself to be one of the leading thinkers in the field, and one of the least dogmatic." — Steve Moore, Fortean Times

"The author is one of the rising stars of Chaos Magic." — Peter J. Carroll, author of Liber Kaos and PsyberMagick

This e-book is the outcome of a project launched by Sexuality Policy Watch in 2004 of a transnational, cross-cultural research initiative that captures the dynamics of current sexual politics in Brazil, Egypt, India, Peru, Poland, South Africa, Turkey and Vietnam, and in relation to the UN and the World Bank. The cases reveal that both research and political activism are needed to further an agenda of change that brings together social justice and erotic justice.
