My Book - The Metaphysics of the Simulacrum (It's 100% Free!) - ✍︎ ∙ Post ur Writing & Webcomics

Hello, everyone!

I'm posting my little book here for anyone who wants to read it. It's a very unique book and I doubt you'll find anything like it anywhere else, be it on the internet or at bookstores or libraries. You'll see why soon.

These past few months I've been searching for comprehensive studies of the internet and its phenomena and, surprisingly, I found very little, at least on the internet itself, but if the internet cannot even house and engender extensive studies about itself, what hope is there for traditional media, academia or anything else? It's evident that any serious study of these matters must proceed from a subjective standpoint (in a sense that might be termed Weberian) or else it is doomed to fail due to the confused and partial manner in which the online phenomenon presents itself to those who observe it through its secondary manifestations outside the internet. So, for this reason, I've decided to turn what were originally just a few blog posts into a collection of essays in which I attempt to create the rudiments of a general metaphysics of the Internet. As far as I know, there is only one person of renown in the whole world who was able to do something similar. There might have been others whom we aren't aware of that tried similar endeavors, which is why it is important to make them known, just as it's important to make mine known. This text may be freely distributed and is not intended for commercial purposes (although there is a listing for it on Amazon which exists simply to establish a record of my authorship).
