Autonomedia is a nonprofit publisher based in Williamsburg, Brooklyn known for publishing works of criticism. As of the mid-2000s, they were staffed by volunteers and had published over 200 books, usually with 3,000 of each run, and its best known book was Hakim Bey's essays on autonomy, Temporary Autonomous Zone.[1] When Bey died in 2022, it was still one of the publisher's bestsellers, with sales of over 50,000.[2]
Circa 1982, Autonomedia became the parent publisher for Semiotext(e), an imprint known for publishing translations of French post-structuralist literature.[3]
