Accelerationism
A family of positions holding that technological or economic change should be intensified rather than resisted or slowed.
Origin
The underlying ideas trace to Deleuze and Guattari’s 1972 “Anti-Oedipus” and were developed through the 1990s by Nick Land and the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit at the University of Warwick; the term itself is generally credited to critic Benjamin Noys, who named the tendency in his 2010 book “The Persistence of the Negative.”
