/lit/ - Literature

What books make you manic?

It’s time to admit it anons. Post books that filtered you. I’ll go first: pic rel.

What’s the /lit/ consensus?

Since you've already read Deleuze/ Guattari, this should be the next step.

This is a joke, right?
Still waiting for the punchline..

Is Nick Land a meme or not? Have any anons actually read him? Do you recommend it? Is his philosophy going to end up being looked back on 100 years from now as prescient and influential? Why doesn't academia respect him? Is this a good or bad sign? Weren't Schopenhauer and Nietzsche similarly negatively regarded in their time (at least to some extent)?

>During the 1990s British philosopher Nick Land's unique work, variously described as “rabid nihilism,” “mad black deleuzianism,” and “cybergothic,” developed perhaps the only rigorous and culturally-engaged escape route out of the malaise of “continental philosophy” —a route that was implacably blocked by the academy. However, Land's work has continued to exert an influence, both through the British “speculative realist” philosophers who studied with him, and through the many cultural producers—writers, artists, musicians, filmmakers—who have been invigorated by his uncompromising and abrasive philosophical vision.

>Beginning with Land's early radical rereadings of Heidegger, Nietzsche, Kant and Bataille, the volume collects together the papers, talks and articles of the mid-90s—long the subject of rumour and vague legend (including some work which has never previously appeared in print)—in which Land developed his futuristic theory-fiction of cybercapitalism gone amok; and ends with his enigmatic later writings in which Ballardian fictions, poetics, cryptography, anthropology, grammatology and the occult are smeared into unrecognisable hybrids.

>Fanged Noumena gives a dizzying perspective on the entire trajectory of this provocative and influential thinker's work, and has introduced his unique voice to a new generation of readers.

You may not like it but this is what peak kino looks like.

This is just a bunch of SJW pozzed nonsense. You guys told me he was based. This basedboy is extremely bluepilled and cucked, only trannies read this commie cringe.

What exactly is the connection to the alt-right? Is something like Fanged Noumena interesting enough to warrant one read?

Is this worth a read, or is it as schizophrenic and stupid as the memes suggest?

Is it worth getting? His essays I've read recently are fantastic. Disintegration and The Dark Enlightenment.

yes

i'm thinking about getting this book
I've had some basic lessons in greek philosofy and i've read kafka and camus in my own free time
now for my question am I ready for this, i've read some basic notes on Nick Land and I am very intrigued by this man. what should I expect from this text. i've read some of his short stories so will this be in that genre or will it it be focused purely on his thinking?

What the fuck is the appeal?

Is this the defining work of the late 20th/early 21st centuries?

So what am I supposed to take from this?

>Cybergothic vampirically contaminates and assetstrips the Marxian Critique of political economy, scrambling it with the following theses:

>1) Anthropormorphic surplus-value is not analyticallyextricable from transhuman machineries.
>2) Markets, desire and science fiction are all parts of theinfrastructure.
>3) Virtual Capital-Extinction is immanent to production.

>The short-term is already hacked by the long-term.

>The medium-term is reefed on schizophrenia.

>The long-term is cancelled…

It seems like I'm reading a extended writing on some 4chan tier lists about söy based conspiracy theories.

don't read this one

ask him if he knows about this one

Not memeing, the revelations I had because of this book have stopped me from commiting suicide. A magnificent work whose meme status unfairly hinders legitimate conversation around it.
