Slides from my talk at Unsound, 'Is Accelerationism Good for the Underground?'

Yesterday I gave a talk on the history, nature, and pros and cons of accelerationism at the Unsound festival. These slights might not give you the full picture of what was said, but since they're full of quotes and references, people have asked that I upload them.

  7. this was really good and reminded me what a great writer Alex Macpherson is. What's the relevance of Elysia Crampton? is she the anti-acceleration?

  8. (Sorry for the delay!) Like Corbyn (with his beard!), Elysia Crampton was brought up less as anti-accelerationism than beyond accelerationism, because she engages with pop but can't be reduced to parody / negativity / nihilism.
