Total State Machine will feature a wide range of texts from Test Dept allies, collaborators and writers, including Jonathan Moore, Robin Rimbaud, Laibach, Stephen Mallinder (ex Cabaret Voltaire), Russell MacEwan and many more. The introduction is by Alexei Monroe.

With hundreds of artwork and event photos from the group’s archives and others, it will also be a highly visual book, illustrating the spectacular scale and impact of Test Dept’s work.

As well as manifestoes, excerpts from tour diaries and many previously unknown stories and documents, the book also contains extensive interviews conducted in which they speak openly about their history.
