please keep in mind the first chapter is the most coherent part, after that it's like derrida as translated by william s burroughs

whoaaa! check out the big brain on this fucker! 'it's like brig schungle's sophomoric interpretation of boat von schweeb's oooo

lemme try to break this down into terms you can understand *makes fart noises w/ armpit*

you little cuntfuck!

lol u guys are so uptight and insecure, cyclonopedia is a lot of fun, chill out

the first chapter is the worst and most dense imo, its just a bunch of silly numerology games. the good stuff comes later

that same claim is made about infinite jest and couldn't be any more untrue with regard to it so i'm skeptical when books get slandered that way

infinite jest isnt elaborate pomo style garbage, it's just garbage

i bought a copy of this a while back but after a couple of attempts decided to hold back on reading it until i had a more workable understanding of transcendental empiricism. & while im still not a Pro i guess im more comfortable w/ the conceptual framework than i was before? basically I'm In

dope! i'd love to see people of as many levels/areas of knowledge approach this, honestly. anyone with any knowledge on deleuzian project would provide a really useful perspective, i'm sure

i think i asked you this before in another thread before ken but i don't think you replied, have you checked out sonic warfare by steve goodman (a.k.a. kode9, who was an active member of the c.c.r.u. who are related very directly to negarestani), it tackles global bass music from a similar philosophical framework

i was planning to read the book in the OP; can some1 pls confirm that this book is not as absurd as the idea mentioned in the post i just quoted, and is in fact worth setting aside what im currently reading.

Edit: Already copied it to my SMart Phone, so all labor beyond the reading itself is taken care of.

naw the things negarestani talks about are generally pretty serious issues - the particular group of london based philosophers he associates with are all nerds who grew up listening to jungle & reggae soundsystems tho so their thinking is marked by that sometimes. there are a lot of traces of john carpenter movies & things like that in cyclonopedia tho, if that's an issue with you i guess

you should hold out for the audiobook edition and drop some acid before listening, I believe this was the author's intent
