Moynihan’s book certainly isn’t perfect, I think his postscript is particularly bothersome and I am beyond bored by anyone who spends any real length of time contending with antinatalism/humanity’s potential self-erasure, but he has certainly done a fine job of explicating a strain of thought (by no means a secret history of course) worth digging through. Probably as good as theory-fiction is ever going to get but I haven’t touched Cyclonopedia yet so we’ll see, I could be wrong. I recommend this to anyone who has ever wanted to crawl inside a Burroughs or Lovecraft text and pause the narrative just so that they can read the fictitious tomes they mention on their shelves. I’ve also got to say that there are plenty of potential great band names in here if you’re so inclined, they line practically every page. Listening to either dissonant atonal no wave music or sleazy techno á la Tuning Circuits or some of Aphex Twin’s more intense work from the 90’s just ties the whole package up with a wonderful little repulsive bow. Actually shameless self-promo but shuffle this, consider it a lovingly made playlist I spent all night putting together just for you, the privileged reader of this truly half-arsed review:
