Essays, articles, artworks, and documents taken from and inspired
by the symposium on Reza Negarestani's Cyclonopedia: Complicity
with Anonymous Materials, which took place on 11 March 2011 at The
New School. Hailed by novelists, philosophers, artists,
cinematographers, and designers, Cyclonopedia is a key work in the
emerging domains of speculative realism and theory-fiction. The
text has attracted a wide-ranging and interdisciplinary audience,
provoking vital debate around the relationship between philosophy,
geopolitics, geophysics, and art. At once a work of speculative
theology, a political samizdat, and a philosophic grimoire,
Cyclonopedia is a Deleuzo-Lovecraftian middle-eastern Odyssey
populated by archeologists, jihadis, oil smugglers, Delta Force
officers, heresiarchs, and the corpses of ancient gods. Playing out
the book's own theory of creativity - "a confusion in which no
straight line can be traced or drawn between creator and created -
original inauthenticity" (191) - this multidimensional collection
both faithfully interprets the text and realizes it as a loving,
perforated host of fresh heresies. The volume includes an incisive
contribution from the author explicating a key figure of the novel:
the cyclone. CONTENTS: Robin Mackay, "A Brief History of Geotrauma"
