Technocapital Is Eating My Brains

When people ride for technocapital, their motivations are usually clear. Nick Land, who coined the term, is a misanthrope. He doesn’t like humans much, so the idea that there could be an entity coming, already being born, drawing itself into existence by hyperstitionally preying on the dreams of humanity, cannibalizing their desires, wearing “the invisible hand” as an ideological skin: he’s into that. “Techno-economic interactivity crumbles social order in auto-sophisticating machine runaway,” as he would put it, and that’s good. You’re being colonized by an entity that doesn’t care about you, except insofar as you make a good host.
