PARTLY GENIUS, PARTLY QUITE MAD

[CYCLONOPEDIA] reminds me of Manuel de Landa's War in the Age of Intelligent Machines; that is, if Manuel had smoked LOTS more, and actuaUy nipped. I'm not certain if the "author" has any real poUtical intentions, or any personal poUtics. Both the "Black Sun" of oil and the "CapitaUst Sun" of Western neoimperiaUsm are condemned with a knd of creepy despairing Gnostic DuaUsm, and it's not clear that there's any way "out." I thought the arguments for the existence of "real demons" was quite depressingly convincing.
