Excerpts from the book manuscript of “Networkologies, Vol. I”

Speculations: The Journal of Speculative Realism, Vol. 1

Networkologies: A New Philosophy of Networks for A Hyperconnected Age is due to be published by Zer0 books this spring. Parts of the work in progress have been published, in two installments, in Speculations: The Journal of Speculative Realism, Vols. 1 & 2.

For links to the issues of Speculations, see here and here. Due to formatting issues, the first article is best accessed via pdf here. The articles do not need to be read in sequence, as they cover different issues. This first article is a general introduction to networks and their relation to philosophy. Much of this has been reworked in the final manuscript.

The second, more recent article, describes the metaphysical core of the networkological enterprise, as well as some of the applications to the physical world. For the page on this website with the entire text, see here. With some modifications, this article will become part of the final manuscript for Zer0.

Additional excerpts of the work in progress for Zer0 have been posted on this blog as regular posts, including here (on Networks and Emergence), here (on Networks and Complexity), here (on Networks and Extimacy), and here (On Networks and Parameters).
