Found out one of my favorite authors, philosopher Eugene Thacker, wrote (with Alexander Galloway) a 2007 book on networks titled “The Exploit” so of course I’m engaging in some light Sunday reading.

(Thacker is better known for his “Horror of Philosophy” series about horror and the limits of human understanding, which is phenomenal.)

Unrelated, but Thacker has a great bit on a worldview he calls Cosmic Pessimism, and I have a hunch if you stuck Thacker in some grim SOC for a decade or two, nostr:npub1hz9nt3mh37pjqk3mtezhpaurzdtw00u7skwk62qrv9tgnkyaylgs9l6rsm is what would emerge.
