i thought about something like this in the last thread. some anon had posted something about not enough books being referenced, and i thought, holy moses if i made a post that listed the books, articles and other links referenced just in the cosmotech thread alone it would be pretty substantial. i guess i could still do that. the recent thread had a bunch of good links for acceleration reading, and in the third post another kind anon had split it into yuk hui stuff and land stuff. in general r/theoryfiction has a lot of good resources on this, and you can comb the cosmotech thread for more.

my own ongoing bibliography would be kind of all over the place, but even then i think i probably reference a fairly small number of texts and authors that i think are useful for a lot of these discussions. this is an interesting idea tho. partly i'm still working out some of it, but it does come back to these things - surviving the age of deconstruction, maybe. i'm forever indebted to both land and girard on this, the black hat and the white hat, since one describes the economic process and another the cultural procress. b/c sometimes it seems as though what i like is less hegel, marx and freud to critique capital, and more deleuze, land, girard & company to critique the critique of capital as a process which has run amok equally so. and i'm feeling pretty great about whitehead also as a guy who is part of the equilibrial process. even if it's not a utopian one, just to get a kind of a sense of balance. and really a big part of it also would be understanding heidegger, who is insanely important in terms of any critique of technology, and yet perhaps we have to shift into the whitehead/deleuze camp and away from deconstruction. but only for some of it, not for all of it.

i could make a couple of posts tho on my own reading stuff. heidegger would be in there too and the zimmerman guide to him i am fond of. plus tarnas' book and jacques barzun's, amy ireland's guide to land, seminal stuff by baudrillard...it wouldn't be too hard. r

but as for where i get the book ideas, mainly it's the same thing: i discover a connection to a new writer i had previously not understood very well, and then basically just read everything i can get my hands on. everybody connects to everybody else, sometimes it's just about timing more than anything.

i'll be thinking about that list tho, even just as a way of organizing some of my own thoughts and why i think some books and texts are germane. could arrange it chronologically, i guess. hm.

true, things are not reducible to any one X. esp not in theology. but some writers do have insightful things to say. that excerpt is the conclusion of the work, ANW has a lot to say along the way. ofc nobody has the Final Answer, let alone the Final Answer about God.

let's try something different tho. and i'm not baiting you. which authors most inform your perspective?
