I just love how it tells you that we will all collapse because we just didn't listen.

>but see his name a lot.
He is a fringe philosopher that is popular amongst a certain group of people on a certain type of board. Might be worth checking out, but he writes obsecure.
>Is this actually good, will it genuinely spook me?
If I am honest it was a meme answer. I was going to read it, but decided not to. If I remember correctly it comes down to: agriculture and civilization was a mistake.

It did win some price.

Seconding Crime and Punishment. Don Quixote is one of my favorites as well, but in a very different way.

An intro to Nick Land, or at least the previous version of him: http://divus.cc/london/en/article/nick-land-ein-experiment-im-inhumanismus
Book review: https://the-electric-philosopher.blogspot.com/2015/12/phyl-undhu-by-nick-land-review.html

Nick Land's work is what you get when you filter Continental philosophy, Hermetic Qabalah, evolutionary biology and contrarian opinions on politics and global risk through a lens of cyberpunk, cybernetics and cosmic horror. If you are the right kind of reader for it, it's exhilarating as well as challenging like a hard puzzle.

Political Theology by Carl Schmitt
Republic
Meditation (kek)

Im assuming you're referring to Plato's Republic -- there are bits and pieces of it that are great, but the general philosophy wasn't altogether interesting. His take on forms of governments was interesting to say the least

If anything, my experience with first-year college students bragging about how amazing Plato is and how he's flawless doesn't help either
