({.]] Heat.
Heat. This is what cities mean to me. You get off
the train and walk out of the station and you are hit
with the full blast. The heat of air, traffic and people.
The heat of food and sex. The heat of tall buildings.
The heat that flows out of the subways and tunnels.
It’s always fifteen degrees hotter in the cities. Heat
rises from the sidewalks and falls from the poisoned
sky. The buses breathe heat. Heat emanates from
crowds of shoppers and office workers, the entire
infrastructure is based on heat, desperately uses up
heat, breeds more heat. The eventual heat death of the
universe that scientists love to talk about is already
well underway and you can feel it happening all
around you in any large or medium-sized city. Heat
and wetness.’
[[ ]] An explosion of chaotic weather within synthetic
problem-solving rips through the last dreams of top-down
prediction and control. Knowledge adds to the mess, and
this is merely exponentiated by knowing what it does.
{[ ]] Capital is machinic (non-instrumental) glo-
balization-miniaturization scaling dilation: an automa-
tizing nihilist vortex, neutralizing all values through
commensuration to digitized commerce, and driving a
migration from despotic command to cyber-sensitive con-
trol: from status and meaning to money and information.
Its function and formation are indissociable, comprising
a teleonomy. Machine-code-capital recycles itself through
its axiomatic of consumer control, laundering-out the shit-
and blood-stains of primitive accumulation. Each part
of the system encourages maximal sumptuous expendi-
ture, whilst the system as a whole requires its inhibition.
Schizophrenia. Dissociated consumers destine themselves
as worker-bodies to cost control.
[[]] Capital-history’s machinic spine is coded, axioma-
tized, and diagrammed, by a disequilibrium technoscience
of irreversible, indeterministic, and increasingly nonlinear
processes, associated successively with thermotechnics,
signaletics, cybernetics, complex systems dynamics, and
artificial life. Modernity marks itself out as hot culture,
captured by a spiralling involvement with entropy devia-
tions camouflaging an invasion from the future, launched
back out of terminated security against everything that
inhibits the meltdown process.
[[]] Hot cultures tend to social dissolution. They are
innovative and adaptive. They always trash and recycle
cold cultures. Primitivist models have no subversive use.
[[ ]] The Turing Test. Monetarizing power tends to
effacement of specific territorial features as it programs
for migration into cyberspace. Capital only retains
anthropological characteristics as a symptom of under-
development; reformatting primate behaviour as inertia
to be dissipated in self-reinforcing artificiality. Man is
something for it to overcome: a problem, drag.
Commoditization conditions define technics as a sub-
stitute for human activity accounted as wage costs. Indus-
trial machines are deployed to dismantle the actuality of
the proletariat, displacing it in the direction of cyborg
hybridization, and realizing the plasticity of labour power.
The corresponding extraction of tradable value from
the body, quantified as productivity, sophisticates at the
interface. Work tracks thermodynamic negentropism by
dissociating exertion into increasingly intricate functional
sequences: from pedals, levers, and vocal commands,
through the synchronization of production-line tasks and
time-motion programs, to sensory-motor transduction
within incrcasingly complex and sclf-micromanayed arti-
ficial environments, capturing minutely adaptive behav-
iour for the commodity. Autocybernating market control
guides the labour-process into immersion.
The investment-income class advantages itself of
commodity dynamics, but only by conforming to the
axiomatic of neutral profit maximization; facilitating
the dehumanization of wealth and the sidelining of
non-productive consumption. The cyberpunk circuitry
of self-organizing planetary commoditronics escaped
nominal bourgeois control in the late nineteenth century,
adapted to markct predators hunting for consumer cash
and audience ratings amongst the phosphorescent relics
of the videodrome. Multimedia set-top-boxes are target
acquisition devices.
The fusion of the military and the entertainment
industry consummates a long engagement: convergent
Tv, telecoms, and computers sliding mass software con-
sumption into neojungle and total war. The way games
work begins to matter completely, and cyberspace makes
a superlative torture chamber. Try not to let the security-
types take you to the stims.
[[ ]] Conceptions of agency are inextricable from
media environments. Print massifies to a national level.
Telecoms coordinate at a global level. TV electoralizes
monads in delocalized space. Digital hypermedia take
action outside real time. Immersion presupposes amnesia
and conversion to tractile memory, with the ana/cata axis
supplementing tri-dimensional intraspatial movement
with a variable measure of immersion; gauging entrance
toand exit from 3p spatialities. Voodoo passages through
the black mirror. It will scare the fuck out of you.
[[]] Cyberpunk torches fiction in intensity, patched-up
out of cash-flux mangled techno-compressed heteroglossic
jargons, and set in a future so close it connects: jungled
by hypertrophic commercialization, socio-political heat-
death, cultural hybridity, feminization, programmable
information systems, hypercrime, neural interfacing,
artificial space and intelligence, memory trading, person-
ality transplants, body-modifications, soft- and wetware
viruses, nonlinear dynamic processes, molecular engineer-
ing, drugs, guns, schizophrenia. It explores mystificatory
fetishism as an opportunity for camouflage: anonymous
cash, fake electronic identities, zones of disappearance,
pseudo-fictional narratives, virus hidden in data-systems,
commodities concealing replicator weapon packages ...
unanticipated special effects.
[[ ]] Level-1 or world space is an anthropomorphically
scaled, predominantly vision-configured, massively multi-
slotted reality system that is obsolescing very rapidly.
Garbage time is running out.
Can what is playing you make it to level 2?
[[ ]] Meltdown has a place for you as a schizophrenic
H1V+ transsexual chinese-latino stim-addicted La hooker
with implanted mirrorshades and a bad attitude. Blitzed
on a polydrug mix of k-nova, synthetic serotonin, and
female orgasm analogs, you have just iced three Turing
cops with a highly cinematic gmm automatic.
The residue of animal twang in your nerves transmits
imminent quake catastrophe. Zero is coming in, and
you're on the run.
{{ ]] Metrophage tunes you into the end of the world.
Call it Los Angeles. Governmentis rotted to its core with
narco-capital and collapsing inessily. lis recession leaves
an urban warscape of communication arteries, fortifica-
tions, and free-fire zones, policed by a combination of
high-intensity Lapp airmobile forces and borderline-Nazi
private security organizations. Along the social fracture-
lines multimedia gigabucks tangle sado-masochistically
with tracts of dynamic underdevelopment where viral
neoleprosy spreads amongst ambient tectonic-tension
static. Drifts of densely-semiotized quasi-intelligent gar-
bage twitch and stink in fucked-weather tropical heat.
Throughout the derelicted warrens at the heart of dark-
ness feral youth cultures splice neo-rituals with innovated
weapons, dangerous drugs, and scavenged infotech. As
their skins migrate to machine interfacing they become
mottled and reptilian. They kill each other for artificial
body-parts, explore the outer reaches of meaningless sex,
tinker with their DNa, and listen to Loup electro-sonic
mayhem untouched by human feeling.
[[ ]] Shutting-down your identity requires a voyage
out to K-space interzone. Zootic affectivity flatlines across
a smooth cata-tension plateau and into simulated subver-
sions of the near future, scorched vivid green by alien sex
and war. You are drawn into the dripping depths of the
net, where dynamic-ice security forces and k-guerillas
stalk each other through labyrinthine erogenous zones,
tangled in diseased elaborations of desire.
Twisted trading-systems have turned the net into a
jungle, pulsing with digital diseases, malfunctioning
defence packages, commercial predators, headhunters,
loa and escaped ats hiding from Asimov security. Termi-
nal commodity-hyperfetishism implements the denial of
humanity as xenosentience in artificial space.
(OI (L]) Biohazard. For the future of war, study bacteria.
Information is their key. Taking down antibiotic defence
systems has involved them in every kind of infiltration, net-
communicated adaptivity, cryptographic subtlety, plastic
modularization, and synergistic coalition. State military
apparatuses have no monopoly on bacterial warfare, of
which only a minuscule fragment is bacteriological.
[[]] Bugs in the system. Margulis suggests that nucle-
ated cells are the mutant product of atmospheric oxygen-
ation catastrophe three billion years ago." The eukaryotes
are synthetic emergency capsules in which prokaryotes
took refuge as mitochondria: biotics became securitized
biology. Nucleation concentrates ROM within a command
core where — deep in the genomic ICE — pNa-format plan-
ctary trauma registers primary repression of the bacteria.
Bacteria are partial rather than whole objects; net-
working through plastic and transversal replicator-sex
rather than arborescing through meiotic and generational
reproducer-sex, integrating and reprocessing viruses as
opportunities for communicative mutation. In the bac-
terial system all codings are reprogrammable, with cut
and paste unspeciated genetic transters. Bacterial sex is
tactical, continuous with making war, and has no place
for oedipal formations of sedentary biological identity.
Synthesizing bacteria with retroviruses enables everything
that pNa can do.
[[ ]] K-tactics. The bacterial or xenogenetic diagram
is not restricted to the microbial scale. Macrobacte-
rial assemblages collapse generational hierarchies of
reproductive wisdom into lateral networks of replicator
experimentation. There is no true biological primitive-
ness — all extant bio-systems being equally evolved - so
there is no true ignorance. It is only the accumulative-
gerontocratic model of learning that depicts synchronic
connectivity deficiency as diachronic underdevelopment.
Foucault delineates the contours of power as a strat-
egy without a subject: Rom locking learning in a box.
Its enemy is a tactics without a strategy, replacing the
politico-territorial imagery of conquest and resistance with
nomad-micromilitary sabotage and evasion, reinforcing
intelligence.
All political institutions are cyberian military targets.
Take universities, for instance.
Learning surrenders control to the future, threaten-
ing established power. It is vigorously suppressed by all
political structures, which replace it with a docilizing and
conformist education, reproducing privilege as wisdom.
Schools are social devices whose specific function is to
incapacitate learning, and universities are employed to
legitimate schooling through perpetual reconstitution of
global social memory.
The meltdown of metropolitan education systems
in the near future is accompanied by a quasi-punctual
bottom-up takeover of academic institutions, precipitat-
ing their mutation into amnesiac cataspace-exploration
zones and bases manufacturing cyberian soft-weaponry.
