In this chapter, I explain the work of Nick Land, the father of “accelerationism,” a nihilistic and hypercapitalistic form of philosophical posthumanism developed through Land’s readings of Jean-François Lyotard and Deleuze and Guattari in the 1990s. I interpret Land’s thesis that capitalism is a primitive form of artificial intelligence “invading from the future” as fundamentally outsourcing our cognitive tasks in order to unleash desire from the limits of our all-too-human psychology and physiology. I then show how Land’s turn to deeply reactionary politics in the twenty-first century is continuous with this project, and that Prometheans inherit from Land some central philosophical commitments.
