Is it prestigious? do they publish good stuff or is it hipster postmodern shlock?

Approaching the comic medium as a supercollider for achieving maximum abstraction, in Chronosis artist Keith Tilford and philosopher Reza Negarestani create a graphically stunning and conceptually explosive universe in which the worlds of pop culture, modern art, philosophy, science fiction, and theoretical physics crash into one another.

Taking place after the catastrophic advent of the birth of time, Chronosis narrates the story of a sprawling multiverse at the center of which monazzeins, the monks of an esoteric time-cult, attempt to build bridges between the many fragmented tribes and histories of multiple possible worlds.

Totally /lit/ a comic for pretentious autistic NEETs larping as mystical philosophers

It's an endearing 'artisanal' press. They occasional put out good books. I like them. The quality of the books, as physical objects, is top notch.

They have one or two good books. Everything else is either a meme or word salad wankery.

zero is a meme and kinda scammy as a publisher
urbanomic is a more select enterprise like older good publishing, while circumventing the drudgeries of academic (universitary) publishers

they're just the distributors, same for semiotexte. It's cliquish, but it's not some lame peer-review crap, bloomsbury, $90 pdf that is only bought by university libraries type shit.

It's fun theory-fiction/philosophy that doesn't take itself too seriously. If you don't have a sense of humour, are an academic bore or are autistic/analytically minded then its probably not for you

That would be repeater books, zero books these days is fucking garbage. Urbanomic is good though.

The plague podcast where they were talking about snacks and playing coronaquest was fantastic. Robin going in on the introduction and ripping Will Self a new arsehole for being a mug. Instant seal of approval.
