"Deleuze is true to his insistence that concepts are responses to problems. His concepts of philosophy and literature responded to a particular problem: why does thinking limit itself to banal and puerile cases? Deleuze creates a specific concept of literature. Literature does not refer to books or literary studies; it allows us to think of a way of stretching language to its limits. Deleuze’s created concept of philosophy refers to a capacity to think differently. Deleuze therefore creates a concept of philosophy that rejuvenates what we usually understand by the word philosophy. So the concept of ‘philosophy’ for Deleuze allows us to think against the normal or recognised cases of thinking."

Also striking here is the appearance of Anonymous as a paradoxical symbol of contemporary activism – not so much a group, and certainly not a formal political organization, but rather a rhizomatic formation of anonymous individuals that spreads through the networks of our neoliberal control societies, disrupting its circuits at critical points, hacking into government databases, revealing corporate and state secrets, eavesdropping on the eavesdroppers and wreaking as much havoc as possible within the system of power – creating, as Deleuze put it earlier, ‘vacuoles of noncommunication’. The fact that government agencies simply do not know how to deal with this assault on their apparatuses of control and surveillance is indicative of the power and resonance of invisibility today. Foucault once said that he wrote in order to have no face. Perhaps, in the same way, singularities today make themselves invisible, efface and dis-identify themselves, in order to create a space for autonomy and freedom of political action.
