Cameron's Book Round-Up: 2025, part 6 — Broken Hands Media

Well, the past couple of weeks have been…a lot. I can’t help but think that it’s probably not healthy to stay plugged into the news all the

In this slate of book reviews:

Cyclonopedia by Reza Negarestani: a philosophy book that is actually a horror story about the sentience and malevolence of oil as an eldritch entity (the rotting corpse of the black sun.)

Rosewater by Tade Thompson: which takes the paranoid psychic espionage fiction of the 1970s and resets it in a near-future Nigeria.

Cuckoo by Gretchen Felker-Martin: which synthesizes John Carpenter and Stephen King into the story of a group of young people (think a "Wilderness Therapy Program" or conversion therapy camp.)

Flatline Constructs by Mark Fisher: his doctoral dissertation, mapping out a kind of space between Videodrome and Neuromancer, among other works, exploring humanity as a thing constantly invaded and penetrated by the machinery that we build and set in motion: the human as the fleshy core to a constantly growing inorganic superstructure.

And others!

Monotheism either misses or intentionally ignores the point that if the Divine's Creation and Order vacuously exploit dust as the irreducible and most primary instance of reductive purity, other agendas too use dust as a compact agent of synthesis, mixture and assortment of countless things from different territories. Not only God, but diseases, deluges and blinding smogs all employ dust as their primary agent If dust represents a return to God as one. different particles and hazards too can be crystallized or sporulated as one within a dust particle. For a dust particle, one is always a legion. The purity of dust as an object deliverable to God (from dust to dust) can be perpetuated only as a disguised unity of minute contagions and pollutants.

...overwhelming with a range of distortions from inauthenticity and corrupted authorship to structural holes (configurative bugs) and subterranean structures of hidden writing; xenopoetics does not necessarily insinuate adventurous modes of expression of prose.' Reading about misauthorhsip and inauthenticity, I am compelled to write on the left margin of a page of the manuscript, 'Am I not the most generous parent who feeds her children with her own meat?'...trying to match my handwriting
