There are no individual statements, there never are. A Thousand Plateaus
The multiple must be made…. A Thousand Plateaus
There is no such thing as a single UFO siting. Issac Asimov
There is no such thing as a course description.

By the time you realize what the class is doing, it is too late. Sorry. And I am not being clever or anything: You have no idea. But here goes:

(1) Acquire a copy of A Thousand Plateaus.
(2) The course will treat Deleuze and Guattari's 1980 volume A Thousand Plateaus as a recipe book for 21st Century life, art and science. Topics covered will include algorithmic complexity, the traditions of self experimentation and the evolution of literary form. Students of diverse trainings and orientations are encouraged to enroll. See you in July, and watch here for updates and introductory rants.
