My new book Pacification: Social War and Police Power will be published by Verso in 2024. Also in 2024 a collectively-authored book called The Security Abolition Manifesto will be published by Red Quill (in English), Katakrak (in Spanish), Affect Editions (in Greek), and NotaBene (in Turkish).
I am currently working on a book called The Most Beautiful Suicide.
Much of my recent work has involved developing a critique of security, taking my earlier work on the state, the fabrication of order and the political mobilization of fear, in a new direction. The most recent development of this work takes the form of a book called The Politics of Immunity (Verso, 2022). Details can be found here: The Politics of Immunity.
An interview about The Politics of Immunity can be found on Red Medicine, here: Mark Neocleous-The Politics of Immunity
A second interview about The Politics of Immunity can be found on the New Books Network, here: Mark Neocleous-The Politics of Immunity
