Author: LAND, NICK

Neoreaction is not your grandfather’s conservatism, but the web 2.0 era marriage between modern engineering principles and classical anti-democratic thought. Its central tenet is that the Enlightenment was a mistake, and in The Dark Enlightenment, Nick Land:

Burns progressivism to the ground
Salts the earth around its ashes
Raises an altar to anti-humanism in its place

Land explicates the main ideas of neoreaction—the Cathedral, neocameralism, formalism, etc.—always viewing democracy, liberalism, and politics in general through the lens of Darwinism. The result? Something like Thomas Hobbes as ghostwritten by H. P. Lovecraft.

Included in this volume is an unreleased essay by Land on the writing and impact of The Dark Enlightenment.

Absolutely none of this incendiary work has been proven wrong in the ten years since it was written. No doubt it will remain relevant for many years to come.
