Issue 1
August 2024



To mark the launch of the journal and in anticipation of the first issue’s open call, Lars Iyer read from his recently published book, My Weil (Melville House Publishing, 2023) in conversation with Adam Potts and Lyn Hagan

This quote from his book on the theme of total creative destruction was used as a prompt for writers and artists to respond to for their short form submissions

“THE PLAN IS TOTAL CREATIVE DESTRUCTION... A YEAR ZERO RESET, JACOBIN STYLE. A NEW FINANCIAL TRANSACTION SYSTEM TO REPLACE THE BANKS: THATS WHAT IS COMING. AND A NEW GLOBAL SECURITY SYSTEM, TO MANAGE THE TRANSITION. BIOMETRIC IDS FOR ALL.  THE DIGITALISATION OF ALL INTERACTIONS. A NEW TRANSNATIONAL GOVERNANCE SYSTEM, SO THE MAN CAN SATELLITE CONTROL US FROM AFAR LIKE LIVESTOCK”
