Description: The first book to explore the Occupy movement in depth, with reportage and analysis.

Review Quotes: "Occupy! abounds with insights on how the occupiers have dealt with internal challenges to their experiment in direct democracy."--Andrew Ross, Guardian

"Both analytical and full of vivid experience ... These blog-style pieces are interspersed with more substantive writings, which are the true strength of the collection ... but most interesting are those by lesser-known writers who bring us vivid historical analyses of various aspects of the occupations."--Michael Sayeau, Observer

"Unlike most quickie publications, the book is gorgeous, a testament to beautiful book design ... the essays are thoughtful pieces of first-person reportage. [A] clear-eyed and sober examination of the dream world that we created this fall, along with a few brief, tentative explorations of what it will become in the future. It's also an excellent proof-of-concept for speedily published book-length journalism that does work blogs and newspapers simply can't do. This is not some dashed-off smear of a money-making scheme; I recommend it heartily."--Paul Constant, The Stranger

"A heart warming anthology of the voices involved in this surprising grass roots movement."--Robert Birnbaum, Our Man in Boston

"Occupy!, an anthology from the occasional Occupy Gazette published by n+1, includes ... a lovely piece on the difficulties of organising an occupation's laundry, which works as a handy metaphor for some of the movement's larger challenges."--The Economist
