'''Peter Lamborn Wilson''' (October 20, 1945 – May 22, 2022) was an American [[anarchist]] author and poet, primarily known for his concept of [[Temporary Autonomous Zone]]s, short-lived spaces which elude formal structures of control.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Marcus|first=Ezra|date=2020-07-01|title=In the Autonomous Zones|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/01/style/autonomous-zone-anarchist-community.html|access-date=2021-08-29|issn=0362-4331|archive-date=2021-06-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210630214924/https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/01/style/autonomous-zone-anarchist-community.html|url-status=live}}</ref> During the 1970s, Wilson lived in the [[Middle East]], where he explored mysticism and translated Persian texts. Starting from the 1980s he wrote (under the [[pen name]] of '''''Hakim Bey''''') numerous political writings, illustrating his theory of "ontological anarchy". His style of anarchism has drawn criticism for its emphasis on individualism and mysticism, as did some of his writings where he defended [[pederasty]].
