Why should or shouldn't one read Nick Land?

Read him, especially his CCRU stuff. He has some interesting stuff to say despite what the pseuds on this board say about him. Just don't actually become a neoreactionary once you get through his body of work.

I've never read Land but I think I've come to grips with the essential elements of his philosophy after spending time in the Land/accelerationist threads here on /lit/.

I finished his dark enlightenment essay the other day. What should I read next, Fanged Noumera? What else has he done?

>> No.12865279

>>12865240
Yeah read Fanged N, or the CCRU collection that is available. Both are 10/10, some of the best contemporary philosophy I have ever read.

It’s just a more complicated way of describing a social construct. Literally that’s all it is. He and his followers deny it because they say that hyperstition is really ‘real’, but that requires you to buy into some sort of literally occult/metaphysical nonsense. Short of that, it’s just social construction with more steps.

You should also read Thirst for Annihilation. If its too pricey (used paperbacks run at 100 dollars in my country) do what I did, download the free pdf of it floating around and get it printed at your local office supply store for 5 bucks. You'll want the experience to be tactile believe me.
