'''''bolo'bolo is a 1983 book by P.M., a pseudonym for Hans Widmer', in which he outlines a plan for utopia.

== Synopsis == The opening of ''bolo'bolo describes and criticizes the current world, called the Planetary Work Machine, which the work describes as based on domination and resulting in the despoiling of the natural world. The author describes the Machine as decentrally orchestrated by corporations and government (and their representatives) who each independently increase their control over others, quashing resistance and the viability of alternative systems. He advocates the undermining of the system via subversion and construction ("substruction"). The book then presents a plan and a future history in which humanity transitions into the bolo'' system.
