Is it worth getting? His essays I've read recently are fantastic. Disintegration and The Dark Enlightenment.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 22 19:12:29 2019 No.13512051 >>13512011 Yeah that's why I'm interested. I have a couple other books from Urbanomic, from the Collapse series, and those are good but the stuff Nick Land writes is much more entertaining to me.

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 22 20:56:34 2019 No.13512493 >>13512298 >>13512417 Land is actually fairly right wing when it comes to accelerationism, wanting capitalist structures to evolve until the world collapses.

>>13513046
I think he's really accessible, just jump right in. Just google the articles OP mentioned and see if you can get into it. Dark Enlightenment is a good one to start with.
Here's a good video to summarize it if you have a hard time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX6B2MHYq1w

I read about half of unqualified reservations before giving up because I couldn't stand reading all of it on a computer screen. Don't know if that counts for anything, but thank you for the advice.
>>13513060
I've read Nietszche. If you don't mind could you tell me the must-reads?

>>	Anonymous Mon Jul 22 23:55:05 2019 No.13513105 >>13513082 Marx, Kant, you should have a passing understanding of occult and schizophrenic themes too. For occult try Crowley or Lovecraft. For schizophrenia try Deleuze or Burroughs.
