During the height of the European Dark Ages, a millenarian fever took hold. Against the backdrop of economic and social upheaval, a proliferation of strange cults and creeds appeared. Many were preoccupied with the End Times. How vindicated they must have felt when the Black Death struck.

Is this West now spiraling towards a similar catastrophe? A hint of feudalism is everywhere, from the apps that increasingly resemble vassalage to the alchemical working cryptocurrencies are doing on finance.

To say nothing of the cults and creeds. The curious saga of the Zizians, vegan Siths to some, a death cult to others, is just the tip of the spear. From Rationalists to effective altruists, NRx, the O9A, and onto Extropians and accelerationists, the twenty-first century has witnessed no shortage of millenarianism in these United States.

But where is this headed? Do powerful tech lords envision a return to the Medieval world? Will AI be the new Black Death? Or is there something more terrible at play --a civilization based on behavior and body modification that ends in a posthuman future?

Strange days indeed.

The Monolith Has Landed....

 


Now Available!!!

Stanley Kubrick is the most written about filmmaker in the English language. But few biographies have been produced by orthodox Kubrick scholars, and conspiracy theorists now contribute even more ink to his discourse than his historians. This subcategory, known as "Cryptokubrology,” fueled by endless viewings of Room 237 and Reddit boards, believes to have uncovered the secrets of the universe in the director's films, scarcely reading—let alone citing—a single book on the filmmaker. Neither Cryptokubrologists or historians have accounted for the true mysteries of Kubrick's life.

That is, until now.                                                                   

Whether it be the influence of surrealism and The Realist, his strange cousin, the exploitation of Sue Lyon by his former business partner, his presence in Ireland amidst the Troubles and Operation Clockwork Orange, the Profumo-inspired masked ball in Eyes Wide Shut, or the specter John F. Kennedy and his assassination cast over the director's life and career, this volume promises a number of unique insights into Kubrick’s life and work.

Forget all the classic Kubrickian misdirection. Forget the moon landing hoax. Forget the endless Reddit posts.  Forget Room 237. Forget everything you ever knew about Stanley Kubrick. In these pages, the true mysteries of one of the 20th century's greatest enigmas will finally be revealed.
