Lewis Call is an American academic notable for being a central post-anarchist thinker.

Call has written extensively on the intersection of post-anarchism and science fiction, covering philosophers and authors such as Gilles Deleuze, Jean Baudrillard, Octavia Butler, Samuel R. Delany and Ursula K. Le Guin.
Call graduated with a B.A. from University of California, San Diego followed by an M.A. and Ph.D. in Modern European History from the University of California, Irvine, finishing his studies in 1996. His doctoral dissertation was titled, Nietzsche as Critic and Captive of Enlightenment. He is an Associate Professor in the History Department of California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, where he teaches intellectual history, political economy and the history of network technology.
