virilios "The Administration of Fear", which is out on the semiotexte intervention series, the same as baudrillards agony of power.
is that the one you've read tesla or are you referring to something else? again, not what i'd describe as fun, but still brilliant. virilio is very strange to me, a practising catholic who also writes critical theory and drives a ferrari. |
it's worth repeating how brilliant baudrillards agony of power is.
he is utterly DESPISED by the academic left right now, they've ignored him since the matrix made him unfashionable. they occasionally bring up his name to slag off, but otherwise ignore him. you can't get a better endorsement than that. what he says makes marxists and academic posers convinced of the moral righteousness emanating from their own petty cliques very uncomfortable. it's bleak, and it soothes me. |

Amina Cain. Haven't read her, but Thurston has a blurb on her page: “Amina Cain is a beautiful writer. Like the girl in the rear view mirror in your backseat, quiet, looking out the window half smiling, then not, then glancing at you, curious to her. That is how her thoughts and words make me feel, like clouds hanging with jets, and knowing love is pure.” — Thurston Moore |
