Abstract
An examination of how the Accelerationist imagination has failed in its deviation from Nick Land's radical metaphorics of an Artaudian and Bataille-esque signifying "economy without reserve" to a neo-Sovietised bureaucratic plan for the post-Anthropocene, per Benjamin Noys et al. Given a positivistic guise, futurology of the latter kind almost always masks a return of apocalyptic humanism.
The fantasy of a species unified in solidarity, in full view of its techno-evolutionary obsolescence, seeks to magically transform the history of alienation into some transcendental "means" of global post-production: but what this amounts to in fact is the phantasmatic extension of the Situationist spectacle into a "collective" dream of living on beyond a "global" extinction event which, in reality, will have been nothing but that of an ideology.
