These four semi-surreal anarchist essays look at space exploration as answering or not answering the needs and desires of anarchists.
In the Manifesto (episode 730) we are shown a vision of space exploration and colonization as exploitative and echoing the errors of the conquest of the Americas -- IF, that is, exploration can even get that far in the limited time left ahead of us by slow civilizational decline or sudden collapse.
If you enjoy these, you might explore the rest of the essays in the book Is Space the Place? from Ardent Press, distributed by Little Black Cart. You might also enjoy the anti-philosophical writings of Francois Laruelle, the genre called cosmic pessimism, or the Horror of Philosophy series by Eugene Thacker. Readings from both Laruelle and Thacker are sure to show up on Immediatism podcast eventually.
