Collasso

Meltdown, here offered in its first Italian translation, is an experimental essay originally performed by British philosopher Nick Land in 1994, successively disseminated online, and recently republished in Fanged Noumena, a collection of Land’s writings edited by Urbanomic. Following a renewed interest for Nick Land’s thought spurred by discussions around the philosophical propositions of accelerationism, the tangle of post-human visions, geopolitical speculation and xenovirological fantasies developed throughout the dense paragraphs of Meltdown has been rediscovered as a classic of cyberpunk theory-fiction, capable of combining the urgency for an exit from the quagmires of postmodernity with prophesizing visions about the inevitable consequences of techno-computational emergence.
