A cult receives disturbing messages from the future, where the artificial intelligence they worship is displeased with them.

本書は、デジタル空間の深淵へ切り込む驚異の思想的ゴンゾ・ジャーナリズムです。サンディファーは、技術至上主義と加速主義が交差する地点を、冷徹な分析と狂気的なユーモアで解剖します。高度な知性が王政復古やＡＩ神への畏怖といった異形の怪物へ変貌する過程を追う筆致は、知的興奮と戦慄を同時に呼び覚ます魅力に満ちています。 ネットの最暗部でうごめく虚無を文明の黄昏と捉え、狂気と滑稽さを不可分なものとして描くスタンスこそ、本作の文学的な核です。破滅に向かう残酷な真実を、冷笑と情熱を交えて突きつける本書は、混迷する現代を生き抜くための「毒を含んだ羅針盤」として、読者の価値観を根底から揺さぶるでしょう。
