a pretty rad title my guy! the inside of the book however is uhh. i think nick land's writing is what happens when you unironically listen to rage against the machine every day for a quarter century. his philosophy such as it is isn't useful, it boils down to yea fuck everything. might be okay for someone who likes ligotti, but not grown adults.

if you have to ask, then the answer is: you'll end up with another overpriced, unread book on your shelf.

I think context might be important on that one. You gotta know that Fanged Noumena was collected and put together mainly by Ray Brassier, who has his own project and it's quite different from Land's (an example of his disagreement: https://moskvax.wordpress.com/2010/09/30/accelerationism-ray-brassier/).).

With that said, this is what Brassier considers to be the prime of Land's works for that period, and he is indeed a very competent reader so expect good stuff to lie in there. However, I know /lit/ has another collected essays edition of Land with many things that are not in Fanged Noumena. Also keep in mind that you should read his blog, both older and recent posts in order to fully grasp what he wants (rather than what he actually is saying) to say. Somewhere along the lines he [stopped doing drugs, started a regular non-accelerated family, and] shifted his thoughts from a kind of extremely (EXTREEEMELY) radical deleuzian nihil-machinic-self-obliterating capitalism, to a more run of the mill right, reactionary if even, once again human-centered thought.

Oh dang, that's super helpful to know. Should I read his blogs before or would I be good to just go right into the book first?

>> No.10872728

Absolutely do his seminars first, solid 30 to 40 hours content out there. Look up concepts he referes to and don't understand .

where can i find his seminars?
