So basically, Nick Land is like Dr. Breen in Half Life2, urging us to collaborate with the Combine?
some anon here writes just like Land in Meltdown, but claims he got the style from somewhere else
the book he cited was quite obscure, written by a japanese guy (either english translation or originally in english), possibly sci-fi, mentioned Daivd Bowie reading it (likely untrue) on its amazon page, and read a lot like Meltdown
does anyone know this book or can find one of this anon's posts?

I'd guess:
>The story goes like this: Earth is captured by a technocapital singularity as renaissance rationalitization and oceanic navigation lock into commoditization take-off.
Modernism and globalism have caused an accelerating rate of technological and commercial advancement.
>Logistically accelerating techno-economic interactivity crumbles social order in auto-sophisticating machine runaway.
Traditional social order (families/nations) is broken down by this globalization. This, in turn, makes way for further acceleration (via ease of international trade, the global financial system, etc.).
>As markets learn to manufacture intelligence, politics modernizes, upgrades paranoia, and tries to get a grip
Private power eventually has too much control (modern algorithms and data science), and in turn governments fumble to react against it to maintain their own power.

Um... was that a thing already when he wrote that?
>>9933836
No, he wrote Meltdown in the 90s. He meant AI but my parentheses were just to give him more prediction credit.

I see. Thanks.
