Published in December 2009 by Kepustakaan Populer Gramedia (KPG), the book was created to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Soe Hok Gie's death.

The phrase "Sekali Lagi" acts as a recurring motif throughout the text, representing a refusal to surrender to apathy. In the essay, Gie confronts the fatigue that comes with idealism. He acknowledges the harsh reality: that the world is often unjust, that political leaders frequently lie, and that the masses can be manipulated.

One of the most striking aspects of the book is its exploration of the complexities of Indonesian history and politics. Soe Hok Gie's experiences span multiple decades, providing a unique perspective on the country's tumultuous past. His observations on the intersection of politics, culture, and society are both poignant and thought-provoking, offering readers a nuanced understanding of Indonesia's journey towards independence and self-discovery.
To understand "Sekali Lagi," one must understand the atmosphere in which it was written. Soe Hok Gie wrote during a period of immense political polarization in Indonesia (the early to mid-1960s). The nation was rife with ideological conflict, corruption was beginning to fester, and the grand promises of the revolution were souring into cynicism. In this environment, it was easy for the youth to become either fanatical followers of a political cause or apathetic nihilists. Gie chose a third path: critical independence.
