I am now a CCRU Meat Puppet.
I'm not sure where to start, but I know I'll end in the middle of the beginning!The AOE, a fascist brotherhood seeking to enslave us all to palaeo-domination time. The polycultural Lemurians, black magic practicing time-sorcerers, forever subverting closed time loops. AxSys, an all-powerful Godlike AI that goes schizo when it tries to chop up time. Hyperstitional characters such as Peter Vysparov, Echidna Stillwell, And D.C. Barker who may or may not exist. An anti-virus to the qliphothic Tree of Life used in many an occult circle. Postmodern occult cybernetic anti-philosophy playing to the tune of junglepunk D&B.What are you waiting for? Get an unlife and summon some lemurs.

Regarding the physical copy itself, I think Urbanomic is a great publisher, but this one felt a little to be desired; namely, the font size is much too large, and the cover material is a very cheap cardboard-like substance that wears away even through casual usage. I would personally be willing to pay more, for a thinner copy with smaller, more “academic” font, with a better quality cover (that’s also perhaps a little less jarring to the eyes!).
I rate it 4/5 stars nonetheless for four main reasons: the text formatting is not exactly a DISASTER (see image), the cover is at least crisp and high-definition (some smaller publishers suffer from blurry cover art), the text itself is charming if looked at properly, and the publisher, Urbanomic, deserves quite a lot of attention for being bold enough to publish contemporary thinkers that might be considered cultist in their approaches to philosophy (though, sometimes to their detriment when they publish authors who, say, publicly denounce Heidegger, and then proceed to plagiarize him within the first 2-3 sentences of their book and continue to do so consistently for the remainder of the work).
Other than that, the text itself is no Being & Time nor Critique of Pure Reason, and the edition quality is not a VRIN or Northwestern University copy, but it still holds its own as being the only physical copy of the CCRU’s collected work.
Captivating as fiction, delusion as philosophy
Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2021
Initially and for the most part, this book scratches a deep itch for some cosmic horror that takes itself seriously. Its language is fascinating, and its “lore” is intriguing. To read it as fiction makes this into possibly one of the most interesting and engaging pieces of literature. That being said, as philosophy it’s a huge step backwards. Foundational ideas such as the Hyperstition dissolve under a Heideggerian analysis, and many of the assertions that follow (such as, language being a parasite) immediately become hard to take seriously. Unfortunately, I believe the philosophy of the book works against it—it’s more difficult to enjoy some proper Lovecraftian-esque mythology when you notice at each turn that an idea only works at the surface level, and is in fact painfully mistaken. It’s also a very interesting dynamic, where it takes itself quite seriously, but the reader must not lest it becomes delusion… talks of Lemurian time-wars, the crumbling facades of reality, time-maps, demons, the pressure of the Outside, etc. all culminate in a text which paradoxically, to be taken seriously in-of-itself, must NOT be taken seriously with regards to reality or all other philosophy.Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2021
