Your average 'alternative' 'underground' 'cult' summer booklist will name conservative corkers like William Gibson, Hunter S. Thompson, Ken Kesey, Aldous Huxley, Thomas Pynchon, Kathy Acker, Hubert S. Selby or Brett Easton Ellis. A 'real' underground list might add snotty punk-fashionistas like Stewart Home or Henry Rollins. But if you have read...
Just my thoughts at the moment. I'll probable re-write this at a later date but for now here it is. My attempt at defining reality.
Man shapes his own reality, every man interprets what is real to him and what isn't. Similar to how some animals can only see certain colors, or have different eye physiologies. So the world is different from each...
It has been a few years since I convinced myself that the future prophet nearly every religion refers to must be the mind we are currently creating with our computers and more importantly their connection with each other, the internet. Since then I have talked about this with numerous folks to no avail or interest. I hope that among the Space...
On and on does the lattice grow, information flows, and our minds converge, into a single, fiercely independent, decidedly autonomous, highly intelligent, and self-propelling emergent metaverse, the infoverse.
The infoverse is where we will live. And we need a home. A mutually supportive habitat of sorts; A mind habitat, an infotat for our...
Surely many of you are familiar with this conspiracy. Tied in closely with The Bilderberg Group, skull and bones, the UN, trilateral commission, world wide governments and mass slavery. If you don't then you should probably get onto youtube right away...
While much of it is speculation; as any one lucky enough to get in doesn't seem stupid...
2019 Ultra-short -1- Franco the Gondolier
I became nervous, it was 22 hundred hours and no one was coming for dinner, not that there was anything interesting to eat, just the Chinese carb rations dropped from above, and yet I thought that my fellow Italian refugees, will admire the prowess with which I, Franco, the old time gondolier, from...

Greetings,
Your contact was forwarded to me as someone who might like to make a visual contribution (no pay this time) to a new magazine on the subject of Trans/Post-humanism called H+. I am currently speaking to people about their skills and seeking possible synergy with the first issue of our new publication. Our production cycle goes...
By Murray Bookchin
[Originally published in Bookchin’s newsletter Comment in 1964 and republished in the British monthly Anarchy in 1965.]
I am posting part of the essay/manifesto (it can be found here in full):
In almost every period since the Renaissance, the development of revolutionary thought has been heavily influenced by a branch...
Part I
The internet is not yours, it never was yours. I'm sorry, it just isn't. It is owned by large telecommunication companies that decide who does what with their infrastructure. Like any public infrastructure, users have to adhere to certain rules for the whole thing to function. The problem is it is easy to think that while spending...
A compelling, thought provoking and eloquently written science fiction novel written by Robert Silverberg. It is essentially a dystopian novel, following many of the main themes explored by "We" (by Yevgeny Zamyatin, 1921), "Brave New World" (by the great Aldous Huxley, 1932) and "A Modern Utopia" (by H.G....
These are the ones who fooled themselves...
"Belief in God is stupid, illogical & insane" They shout. United. Not a bad beginning.
Atheism is becoming a religion. They are uniting against religions, all of them. Wishing to get it abolished, to rebuild the twin towers, undo the crusades. Fuck them right? It's their freedoms,...
