β¦ Synopsis
Upwingers is a stirring manifesto. Real proclamations are hard to find in this day and age of sound bites and half-hearted cynicism. See why the Village Voice called F.M. Esfandiary "a man so rational, so articulately confident, that he emanates a kind of ultimate optimism--the triumph over alienation and irrationality." He deals in possibilities; he makes the unknown his favorite subject and with Upwingers, he makes the future a revolutionary rendezvous.
