How Nick Land Became Silicon Valley's Favorite Doomsayer (newyorker.com)

I think Nick Land will suffer the same fate as Friedrich Nietzsche. People vibe with the aesthetics of his philosophy without having read or understood his works. People will take ideas and quotes out of context in order to better rationalize their own actions, which can be already observed in Silicion Valley celebrities like Andreessen. Nick Lands works are nuanced and may be one of the most important thinkers of this century. I can highly recommend some of his interviews because they are less obfuscated than his written works.
