SUMMARY:Philosophy Book Club: Cyclonopedia
DESCRIPTION:Philosophy Book Club is back and have we got a doozy for you this month! The seminal text of theory-fiction by Iranian philosopher Reza Negarestani\, Cyclonopedia: Complicity with Anonymous Materials. Can’t say it much better than the book jacket does: “At once a horror fiction\, a work of speculative theology\, an atlas of demonology\, a political samizdat and a philosophic grimoire…The journey to the Underworld begins with petroleum basins and the rotting Sun\, continuing along the tentacled pipelines of oil\, and at last unfolding in the desert\, where monotheism meets the Earth’s tarry dreams of insurrection against the Sun.” Whoa!

SUMMARY:Philosophy Book Club: Last Days at Hot Slit: The Radical Feminism of Andrea Dworkin
DESCRIPTION:Join us this month as the Philosophy Book Club reads Last Days at Hot Slit: The Radical Feminism of Andrea Dworkin\, a bold collection from one of the most controversial figures in modern feminist thought. Dworkin was a radical feminist writer and activist\, best known for her opposition to pornography and her unflinching critiques of male supremacy. A divisive figure during the feminist sex wars of the 1980s\, she was both vilified and admired for confronting sexual violence and systems of power. This collection brings together key works from across her career. Readers are invited to explore Dworkin’s legacy and the complex questions she raised about sex\, power\, and justice. Copies are available at the first-floor information desk. New members are always welcome!

SUMMARY:Philosophy Book Club: S.S.O.T.B.M.E.
DESCRIPTION:From Plato to Ta-Nehisi Coates\, and now a foundational text of chaos magick whose intellectual (and perhaps cosmic) depth is matched only by its accessibility. S.S.O.T.B.M.E. by Ramsey Dukes\, AKA Lemuel Johnstone\, AKA Lionel Snell\, may find fault lines in consensus reality but (as opposed to more pointedly woo woo texts of mysticism) requires no buy-in from the reader and can be read and appreciated from a purely rationalist-scientific-secular-materialist perspective. A slippery\, trippy\, often delightfully witty\, and profound work. The perfect text for our philosophers to undertake! Copies available at the front desk. New members always welcome.
