Okay one thing I had to laugh out loud about in this piece is the "Techno Capital Machine" section:
"Combine technology and markets and you get what Nick Land has termed the techno-capital machine[...] We believe the techno-capital machine is not anti-human – in fact, it may be the most pro-human thing there is. It serves us. The techno-capital machine works for us. All the machines work for us"
Mark might find it fashionable to quote Land but I'm unsure if he's actually read him. Here's what Land had to say on the techno-capital machine working for us, from Fanged Noumena:
“Machinic desire can seem a little inhuman, as it rips up political cultures, deletes traditions, dissolves subjectivities, and hacks through security apparatuses, tracking a soulless tropism to zero control. This is because what appears to humanity as the history of capitalism is an invasion from the future by an artificial intelligent space that must assemble itself entirely from its enemy's resources.”
