Description
Cyclonopedia is a work of theory-fiction that explores the Middle East as a sentient entity, alive and inextricably linked to the natural world. Reza Negarestani weaves together elements of horror, speculative theology, and demonology to create a complex narrative that spans the globe. The story follows a young American woman who becomes embroiled in a mysterious plot involving a pseudonymous online acquaintance and a cryptic manuscript. As the War on Terror escalates, the boundaries between reality and the occult begin to blur, and the protagonist finds herself drawn into a world of ancient principles and oil-saturated narratives. Through its exploration of the Middle East and the natural world, Cyclonopedia raises questions about the role of oil in shaping historical and political narratives, and the consequences of this relationship on a global scale.
