Xenosystems

First conceived in 2013 by British philosopher Nick Land, Xenosystems is the ur-text of neoreactionary thought. Pathbreaking, uncompromising, and, as its name suggests, utterly alien, Xenosystems employs a cold, often “anti-human” analytical approach to the problems of the early 21st Century. This provides a clarifying—if equally horrifying—lens through which to view our current and future realities.
