As far as the creation of artificial time goes, Primer is the best there is. For the full Meltdown experience, it's probably something like Akira.

how do I into amphetamine?

The year is 2122. Neo Shanghai. Anime is real. The hyperstition of old vs young Landians is boiling with virtual/actual chaos, and the pressure hits critical. Turing cops surround the apartment, your waifu calls out from the navi, reminding you of the price of failure. Footsteps in the stairwell. You insert her backup nanosata into your anal cavity no lube and make your way to the window. You slap the emergency neodymium magnet to your VDD and leap from the window into the neon future.

Androids are sentient. The sheep they dream of are also sentient.

it's a commentary on the nature of desire and technology: that is, capitalism. tetsuo can't (or won't) regulate his desires, which massively exceed him. where does this ultimately take him? into becoming a gigantic monstrosity.

so one question to ask is, is this what it means to be a BwO? partly yes, partly no. the idea of deleuze's thought isn't to become monstrous, but it does mean getting around whatever internal despotism exists within the subject that prevents them from becoming what they are. for land, who is a related but slightly different figure, the social aspect of this means cybernetic capitalism. but it's also what makes tetsuo (and this film in general) an interesting one: land is a visionary, but his visions are also very dark. land's own intellectual career is kind of tetsuo-like in this way: he really does provide a good description of what would happen if you really did try to deterritorialize yourself to the extreme. hence his fetishism of capital.

tetsuo represents a danger more than an exemplary case of deleuzian thought. but akira is a complex film and can be looked at in a lot of different ways. but it's because of the question and idea of limits: what are, where are, the limits? they can't be transcendentally imposed or deduced - all of this would be negativity. but what happens in the absence of this? people go wild, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes not, and sometimes both.

>Kant locked the subject in the prison of his own finitude. The mass couldn't think the God of a transcendental = x so we kicked capitalism into high gear. Capitalism is a defense-reaction against the non-predicability of God, the void without stimulus
Always disagreed with this part. Kant wasn't a warden, he didn't lock the subject anywhere. His critiques mark the reaction towards the prison itself (isn't the real villian Hume, the man who could wake even Kant from his dogmatic metaphysical slumber?), a prison in which our only constructive means would be the result of redrawing radically new ontological goalposts. Capitalism emerges earlier than Kant (the logistic curve was normed at 1500 (0)). Kant was simply a dutiful reactionary. To put it bluntly, capitalism hacked Kant's wetware -- Kantian metaphysics approaches from the future; we can all admire Capital as the fangs of the Noumena.

You should probably read meltdown if you haven't

if you just want a down and dirty introduction, start with something like
https://www.meta-nomad.net/nick-land-accelerationism-neoreaction-overview-guide
or
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1D_qdPDEbddly2PapOImYtAoFHGECEHUQ/view
then if you want to keep going, move on to the introduction to FN (written by Brassier himself)
https://www.urbanomic.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Fanged-Noumena-Introduction.pdf
if you make it through that you can read anything in FN. mileage varies on comprehension of the weird stuff, though. archive over at /r/theoryfiction

Heavily reductive, but yeah, mix Darwin, late Neitzsche, Deleuze, and Bataille, with a heroic dose of amphetamines. That's young Land in a nutshell.

you should read him if you like Neuromancer and Continental Philosophy

Just accelerate faggots

is longwindedness and obscurantism essential elements of a philosophical text?
