The reason not to abolish it

The best art ever

"criticizing AI use in journalism or other creative industries is classist" NO IT IS NOT there is a class that benefits enormously from cognitive surrender, epistemic warfare, and the enclosure of all hitherto produced culture and it is NOT THE WORKING CLASS

"a term popularized by Palantir" we are cooked

why make cars if you can make weapons? why support the green transition by producing electric vehicles if you can support a genocide instead? www.ft.com/content/1e41...

Arrived in Cambridge for a talk about how Silicon Valley materializes science fiction. Brought a guide. Feeling less perplexed already! @quinnslobodian.com @bentarnoff.com

My new book Currency of Nihilism is officially out today! In it, I develop a history and theory of financial nihilism that speaks directly to the ongoing merger of digital technology with finance. Use the code SAMMAN20 for 20% off: www.sup.org/books/politi... mngbookshop.co.uk/978150364586...

THE ASSET CLASS, my first book, will be published by @wnbooks.bsky.social on 9 April 2026. It’s a narrative investigation of private equity, a secretive and relentlessly destructive wing of finance that penetrates almost every aspect of our lives - and it’s available to pre-order now!

The Finale of our “Close Reading For The 21st Century” trilogy is out in the world. I promise it will make you laugh, make you cry, make you wish you were dead, & make you rage against the dying of the light. Okay?

New article out:

This is what ecocide looks like.

Prometheus abyss / Promethean hyper-shame / Promethean shamelessness

Det er lige så naturligt at “producere” 25.000 svin hver dag som det er for mennesker at trække vejret, lige så naturligt at der dør 9 millioner pattegrise om året som det er at trække vejret, lige så naturligt at dræbe natur og danske fjorde som det er trække vejret - jeg holder mit fra nu af

Hatten af! At sammenligne en samfundsskabt, kapitalistisk, naturfjendtlig dødsmaskine (også kendt som dansk landbrug) med mennesker der trækker vejret og udånder CO2 er alligevel noget

New article in Global Studies Quarterly - the first academic piece developing my “materialized science fiction” framework. Thiel, Musk, and Andreessen don’t just love SF; they’re turning it into a blueprint for sovereignty. Fully open access: academic.oup.com/isagsq/artic... Short thread ↓

Lige tids nok til at ramme alle landets konfirmationsgaveborde

It will be out in April 2027 !

Think Greta Thunberg's The Climate Book, Bini Adamczak's Communism for Kids, Varoufakis's Talking to My Daughter About the Economy, Malm's How to Blow up a Pipeline, The Three Investigators, Olsen Banden, Bugonia etc etc etc

Thrilled (and a bit surprised) to have just signed a contract with Forlaget Grønningen 1 for a new Danish climate book for readers aged ≈ 11–16. Part non-fiction (letters), part fiction (a crime story). I can’t share the title or details yet, but it will be wild & cute & involve a kidnapping!

What is, in the eyes of the economist, the Milky Way if not "a pile of material that was provided without any clear motive, which means that its existence can in a sense only be explained on account of some cosmic incompetence and lack of business acumen.” (Günther Anders)

Back to the drawing board

"In the battle between fossil and electricity capital, there are good reasons to think the latter will win in the long run. Of course, in the long run, as JM Keynes said, we are all dead."

hilarious article about the horrible, no good, very bad, new tech AI startup generation harpers.org/archive/2026...

We're recruiting 2 PhD candidates in human geography here in Uppsala, one position focused on urban/housing issues and one in political ecology. Please spread the word/repost etc. Being a PhD student in Sweden is a good gig.

I would take a pay cut to not have an email address.

Does anyone know when the "humanities" started needing qualifiers to prove its value?

I wanna know the answer!
