For quite a few years now, Autonomedia has been putting out consistently challenging literature. From their books on art, culture and theory, to Graphic Novels by a member of The Fugs. Just browsing the titles will get your brain working.
Continuing toward the edge. Also, the Zone books from MIT press not only have great content, but their design is always top-notch, I've been trying to get through this one for a while. If you can find the Fragments for a History of the Human Body series, it's worth picking up.

very much agreed w/r/t zone books:
Incorporartions volume 5 is my fave. Great essays by Manuel DeLanda, Gilles Deleuze, Paul Virilio, etc.
Does anyone know where to get the uber-rare Semiotext[e] periodicals from the 80's. I know less than nothing about them except that they were 8.5x11" about 1" thick and there were a bunch of them -- one called USA, one called Canada....etc. If you know of a resource, let me know!
But Autonomedia's _Forget Foucault_, _On the Line_ by Deleuze and Guitarri, and all the rest were 100% responsible for getting my brain going back in the pre-web days. Makes me wonder if the web is actually less effective for presenting these kinds of ideas. hmm.

I used to travel with my copy of USA, Architecture was also great. I have no idea what happened to them. They have been out of print for years and I never see them used, although I'm sure they are out there. Here are a couple of them.
