He's a continental philosopher who specialises in political philosophy, a topic which is very relevant to methods of governance in society (most generally) or smaller units (like programming projects). In particular, his concern in this scope is questioning the extent to which critiques of current methods of governance and the organisation of society (e.g as highlighted by the Frankfurt School's critical theory) are relevant to any future methods, and whether questioning government philosophically rules out a bureaucratic governance.

In particular his position is interesting in contrast to others in the anti-authoritarian Marxist tradition.

I hadn't heard of Hakim Bey or TAZ, so thanks for pointing that out to me.
