**The Coming Insurrection** is a French radical leftist, anarchist tract written by The Invisible Committee, the nom de plume of an anonymous author (or possibly authors). It hypothesizes the "imminent collapse of capitalist culture". *The Coming Insurrection* was first published in 2007 by Editions La Fabrique, and later (2009) translated into English and published by Semiotext(e). Last Word Press in Olympia, Washington also published an edition. The book is notable for the media coverage which it received as an example of a radical leftist manifesto, particularly from American conservative commentator Glenn Beck. *The Coming Insurrection* is also known for its association with the legal case of the Tarnac Nine, a group of nine young people including Julien Coupat who were arrested in Tarnac, rural France, on 11 November 2008 *"on the grounds that they were to have participated in the sabotage of overhead electrical lines on France's national railways".* The Tarnac Nine were variously accused of conspiracy, sabotage, terrorism, and being the author(s) of *The Coming Insurrection*.
