3.0

It was interesting, but it didn't really live up to the hype (I was told it would be scary...). Also, I've read a bunch of accelerationist/ccru-type stuff recently, and I'm just kind of tired of it. The whole "adhere to being closed off in order to invite being ripped open" thing is uncomfortably familiar. It's the same kind of sentiment that amounts to, in its worst articulation, the idea that the only escape from fascism is fascism itself.
