An interesting coincidence, because right now I'm reading Anti-Oedipus, where Deleuze & Guattari argue against (nowadays ubiquitous) neurotic dependency on professionals, against capitalist society based on segregation with exclusion, and in favor of reversing the relationship between man and its machines -- they call this process of reversal "desiring-revolution" and IIRC explicitly mention Illich's concept of "deschooling" as one of the inspirations.
The book itself is hard as nails to read, and at times either reeks with militaristic tones (from Guattari) or derails into fart jokes over psychoanalysis, but, all in all, is a very, very worthwhile and inspiring read (esp. then authors peruse concepts from dynamic systems theory, cybernetics and biology). I hope to finish it ASAP and move on to Thousand Plateaus, which, according to some comments, is a more thought-out and balanced (i.e. pure 50/50 hybrid between Deleuze and Guattari, instead of Guattari interspersed with Deleuze) version of Anti-Oedipus.
Maybe some of you will find this reference useful.
