The Enemy We Need

3 steloj

This is a hard book to review. It's a totally different beast from Fanged Noumena, which consists of his works from before 2007 and is a distillation of accelerationism in what I might call its purest form. This work, in contrast, puts some of Land's earlier writing in conversation with his more recent, Neoreactionary phase. That, in fact, is exactly why I picked it up. Mencius Moldbug/Curtis Yarvin has been in the news a lot lately, and I read one of his short treatises previously.

I've put a full review of the text here on my blog.
