Publisher's Synopsis
Nick Land's Outsideness: 2013-2023 compiles a decade of provocative, aphoristic writings primarily critiquing modern Western society, democracy, liberalism, and egalitarianism (often invoking the "Cathedral" and "dysgenics") while championing a harsh realism focused on intelligence, heredity (HBD), and demographics. He explores capitalism and technology (like AI and crypto) as inhuman, accelerating forces with their own purpose, potentially leading beyond civilizational decline, which he links to cultural decay and immigration. Throughout, Land employs deliberate provocation and embraces controversial concepts from a self-consciously "outside" perspective, viewing history through a lens of selection, conflict, and often brutal transformation. The collection acts as a raw, chronological artifact of Land's influential yet highly contested Neoreactionary and Accelerationist thought, offering a stark, challenging, and often disturbing perspective on technology, society, and the future.
