This chapter interrogates hyperstition: the process by which fictions become real through their circulation. Drawing on Land, Ccru materials, and Fisher, it explores how symbols, memes, and narratives accumulate force as they loop through affective and algorithmic systems. Hyperstition is not interpreted as speculative fantasy, but as infrastructure: mechanics through which belief itself generates material effects. This primer outlines how recursive symbolic processes shape both the social imagination and the perceived limits of ‘the real’ within immediate modernity.
