„This book is often referred to as Provoke 4&5. Although the chapters are called provoke 1-5, the images are not from any previous Provoke publication, with the exception of a single image by Takuma Nakahira in chapter 1, which was previously published in Provoke issue 2. (This image also appears in his book For a Language to come.)
The book is divided into the five provoke image sections mentioned, and six sections of text, entitled predict 1-6. It was published the same year that the Provoke group split up, making it kind of final testament. The book resembles a kind of paperback novel, printed on rough matt paper.“ (Andreas H. Bitesnich)
