We start our series, “The Lost Cyberhighway” with an exploration of an early proto-cybernetic text by Nikolai Federov, “The Common Task”. This work of cosmic politics articulates a humanity that is united in a production-driven expansionary project to transform “the solar system” into “a controlled economic entity.” We examine this speculative text’s relationship to the legacy of physiocratic economics, Darwinism, the government of population, colonialism, and its strange projections of neoliberalism. So join us as we begin a year long endeavor through this cybernetic expanse!Support the podcast:Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcastZer0 Books and Repeater Media Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/zer0repeaterMerch: http://www.crit-drip.comOrder 'The Philosopher's Tarot': https://repeaterbooks.com/product/the-philosophers-tarot/Subscribe to us on Apple Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/169wvvhiHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam’s blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.com​Revolting Bodies (Will's Blog): https://revoltingbodies.com​Split Infinities (Craig’s Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/​Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/Support the show
