He leaves behind several million words, with many more on his blog site – a vast inter-connected web of online & part-published drafts – tomes, novels, docu-fiction and general contrapreneurial diatribes and discourses… (along with countless provocations and contrarian windups on social media)
This site will grow over time as a living archive, as his literary community gets to grips with dusty files and manuscripts, as they emerge from the digital underworlds all around us… (any material, send to joe.ravetz@gmail.com ….)
At this moment we are seeking the “The 12 tribes of Manchester – from Laptopia to the Frackdonalds bagging area” – if anyone knows the whereabouts….
