Sweet and Deadly

As journalist Murray Carpenter makes clear in his damning exposé, Sweet and Deadly, the Coca-Cola Company has gone to extraordinary lengths to make sure we don’t find out how dangerous their products really are. Carpenter describes the damage Coke does to America’s health—and the remarkable campaign of disinformation conducted by the company to keep consumers in the dark.

Announcing DOPAMINE from Semiotext(e)
In 2024, MIT Press’s long-time distribution partner Semiotext(e) launched new publishing project DOPAMINE, an all-volunteer queer literary organization that aims to elevate LGBTQI+ writing and writers through publishing, readings series, and workshops. Dopamine is dedicated to stories of unvarnished queer existence.
While still a young venture, DOPAMINE’s team will benefit from its partnership with Semiotext(e), which has long stood as the paragon for fearless queer-centric publishing within the community. DOPAMINE hopes to build on Semiotext(e)’s legacy and create a space of its own, publishing four books per year that honor the realities of queer and trans existence under capitalism, patriarchy and, now, fascism.
