“T.A.Z.” seems to take its cues from the Situationist Manifesto and its prose style from Allen Ginsberg. A sample: "Weird dancing in all-night computer-banking lobbies. Unauthorized pyrotechnic displays. Land-art, earthworks as bizarre alien artifacts strewn in State Parks. Burglarize houses but instead of stealing, leave Poetic-Terrorist objects." This reminds me more of the Yippes[1], honestly, who famously nominated a pig for President, tried to levitate the Pentagon, and threw dollar bills in to the trading pits of Wall St... they were an artifact of the 60s and 70s... a couple of decades before TAZ was written.
