If you’ve been surfing the tech sphere lately, you may have come across the term e/acc or effective accelerationism as if it was something new. But like most of these tech elite driven ideologies, it’s largely a mutation of more naive and sometimes sinister trends.
For this episode I spoke to Adam Jones, host of Acid Horizon and Zer0 Books and Repeater Media and author of Anti-Oculus. Anti-Oculus is a psychedelic trip through the eyes of power, exploring avenues of escaping systems of control in our cyberpunk reality.
During the interview, Adam helps explain the core of accelerationist theory, where it comes from, and what e/acc is. We also dive into the Techno-Optimist Manifesto from Marc Andreessen, why it’s a giant circle jerk and Nick Land would hate them.
If you want to learn more about accelerationism and particularly left accelerationism , check out my interview with Nick Srnicek who wrote the left accelerationist manifesto.
