It's been fun writing a history of the Science Wars that actually examines what Semiotexte was and the role it played in normalizing postmodernism in tight alliance with Hakim Bey, and how Zerzan and Bookchin each levelled massive attacks on postmodernism on realist grounds as anarchists just before Higher Superstition and Sokal.
As usual the anarchist and radical milieus are hugely important to the discursive history but entirely written out by the academics riding the coattails.
