Debate about Accelerationism

There’s a lively debate going on about ‘accelerationism’. As Reza Negarastani has suggested, it might be a way in which big picture speculative thought about historical circumstances has returned after the decline of Marxism. It began with the somewhat hallucinated texts of Nick Land, which saw capitalism as a sort of alien species invading human time from the future. Land’s texts are a sort of clinging to the fuselage of ‘late’ capitalism as it accelerates toward an alien becoming, where capital and tech supplant the human as a new mode of being.McKenzie Wark — November 18, 2013Since accelerationism was coined in 2010 by Benjamin Noys to describe Land and his proponents, the term has suffered from considerable conceptual stretching and has taken on several new meanings, often appropriated by right-wing extremist movements, that has led the term to be sensationalized on multiple occasions.En Wiki.
