Who Is Nick Land?

Few thinkers have generated more fascination since the turn of the century than Nick Land. Originally an anarchic academic at the University of Warwick, and later the leader of an avant-garde-theory cult organized around cyberpunk, cybernetics, mumbo jumbo and drugs, Land today is a living meme and an oracle, generating a singular mixture of caustic political commentary and oblique numerological ravings on his seminal X account from Shanghai.
