After some general updates, our central theme is "the evocation of the evil genius". Taking its origin in a passing reference by Crowley, we trace the meaning and relevance of this idea through the work of Nick Land, Carl Jung, Crowley, Philip K. Dick, and -- not least, of course -- personal experience.

The CCRU (Cybernetic Culture Research Unit) was founded at Warwick University, Coventry UK, in 1995.

Nick Land and Aleksander Dugin can be seen and heard in a conversation recorded in October 2025 at: https://tinyurl.com/5sbbbbc9 (youtube.com). Accessed November, 2025.

The Philip K. Dick novel that concludes in a conversation with a robot cab is: Now Wait for Last Year (1966).
