the next logical step is just pick some arbitrary, but suspicious and ominous number of pages, leave the whole book entirely blank, and sell it to you dweebs for $22.99 (free shipping on orders over $25)

The theory-fiction is the best part. The first 5 essays or so are fairly boilerplate (although genuinely innovative) academic philosophy. When it really gets revolutionary is when the amphetamines kick in.

[Anonymous No.11139278]

>>11137765
is it even a book? or just a collection of shitposts somebody gathered from Land?

How much 'academic philosophy' is in there? I loved Phyl Undu and this is probably crazier but I don't want to buy a book for $20 if I only get a fourth of it.

I'm of the opposite opinion. His early essays, while mannered in an academic prose, are genuinely insightful readings of Kant, Heidegger, Bataille, Trakl and others. I get nothing out of the 'hyperstitions'; they read like bad sci-fi to me. I do like Reza's Cyclonopedia, which as far as I'm concerned is the best thing to ever come out of the 'mad Deleuzian' / CCRU thing.

He's actually got it backwards. Unconditional accelerationism assumes capital is already past the point of no return and nothing we can do can prevent the Singularity. Right accelerationism is concerned with retardation of technological advancement due to women, minorites, etc,. invading productive corps, and plus politics like pic related such that we never actually make it to tech's jumping off point.

I'm not sure what he means by useful though U/acc is only descriptive, not prescriptive. It asks nothing of you because according to it, the situation is already out of human hands.

This is everything you need to know about his very early writings.

>When I contacted Land about the republication of his works, he did not protest, but had nothing to add: "It’s another life; I have nothing to say about it – I don’t even remember writing half of those things ... I don’t want to get into retrospectively condemning my ancient work – I think it’s best to gently back off. It belongs in the clawed embrace of the undead amphetamine god."

Can someone tell me more about Reza and his works? How does his thought relate to Land? I'm familiar with his name but that is about it. Same goes for Ray Brazzer.

you don't, at least not a physical one. The epub and PDF are easy to find though. Maybe it'll be reprinted sometime. Maybe if we all spam Sequence press/Urbanomic

[Anonymous No.11143678]

>>11142093
Anon have you read it? Download the pdf/epub first, read the whole thing and if you really like it then shill out for a physical copy or wait and see if they reprint it. They just reprinted it for the 4th time a year ago now (May 2017) so they probably will make more.

if u guys are lurking right now pls notice me senpai I have cash dollars with ur name on it <3

Yes well I've read melt down and a few other stories I love everything about it but I have problems making it through more than a couple hours long form reading on my computer. Maybe it's digital autism, I just can't be bothered after not very long at all. I need to hold a physical copy... you know, maybe go outside with it - find somewhere quiet to digest it in peace. Something like that.

How do you guys manage to read actual books on your computer?

Cyclonopedia is essentially a novel-length version of what Land tried to do with his 'theory-fiction', which itself was inspired by D&G, particularly the 'Geology of Morals' chapter of Mille Plateaux. It is a sort of 'dark' materialism (as opposed to 'vital materialism' popular in certain ecological circles), which focuses on the geopolitics of oil (or rather, turning oil into a monstrous, alive Thing). The aesthetics are firmly rooted in Lovecraftian horror and 'weird' sci-fi, but there is a genuine philosophical undercurrent to the novel. Brassier is more straight-up philosophical, and adapts Landian materialism with a nihilistic bent (from my understanding, his work centers on the pure frivolity of man in the context of a geological or cosmic scale -- a la Lyotard's "inhuman"). Haven't read him myself though.
