Me and a couple friends want to strat a book clubs about cyberpunk/cybernetics with a focus on theory more than fiction. The goal would be to start with something like Neuromancer and end on something like Nick Land or beyond. I've got some loose knowledge about Land, Mark Fisher, Deluze, etc but not enough to really build a concrete list. Also noted that this would a first encounter with these themes for most people on the group.

Any recs? I kind of lost on the fiction part but I'm open to manga/comics suggestions too.

Check out Maturana&Varela's Autopoiesis: The Organization of the Living for a cybernetic take on biology. If you end up liking it you can read Luhmann, who applies autopoietic theory to sociology.

so you're a crypto marxist trying to use trendy science to revitalize a dead end belief system?

"Cybernetics" isn't (or originally wasn't) cyberpunk sci-fi roleplaying, zoomer.
