The book describes the socio-political tactic of creating temporary spaces that elude formal structures of control.

Bey later expanded the concept beyond the "temporary", saying, "We've had to consider the fact that not all existing autonomous zones are 'temporary.' Some are ... more-or-less 'permanent.'"
[2]
Hence, the concept of the permanent autonomous zone.
