Startling pulp theory-fictions, forays into cyberculture, occultural
studies and popular numerics, paranoid cosmic conspiracy, and schizoid
tactics for escaping the reality system recovered from the prehistoric
lore of Lemurian Time Sorcery.
From before the beginning (which was also, according to them, already
the end), the adepts of the Architectonic Order of the Eschaton have
worked tirelessly to secure the past, present, and future against the
incursions of Neolemurian time-sorcery, eliminating all polytemporal
activity, stitching up the future, sealing every breach and covering
every track. According to the AOE, the CCRU "does not, has not, and will
never exist." And yet...
The texts collected here document the CCRU's perilous efforts to
catalogue the traces of Lemurian occulture, bringing together the
scattered accounts of those who had stumbled upon lagooned relics of
nonhuman intelligence--a project that led ultimately to the recovery of
the Numogram and the reconstruction of the principles of Lemurian
time-sorcery--before disintegrating into collective schizophrenia and
two decades of absolute obscurity.
Meshing together fiction, number theory, voodoo, philosophy,
anthropology, palate tectonics, information science, semiotics,
geotraumatics, occultism, and other nameless knowledges, in these pages
the incomplete evidence gathered by explorers including Burroughs,
Blavatsky, Lovecraft, Jung, Barker, J.G. Ballard, William Gibson, and
Octavia Butler, but also the testimony of more obscure luminaries such
as Echidna Stillwell, Oskar Sarkon, and Madame Centauri, are clarified
and subjected to systematic investigation, comparison, and assessment so
as to gauge the real stakes of the Time-War still raging behind the
collapsing façade of reality.
One of the most compelling and unnerving collective research enterprises
to have surfaced in the twentieth century, the real pertinence of the
CCRU's work is only now beginning to reveal itself to an unbelieving
world. To plunge into the tangled mesh of these conspiracies, weird
tales, numerical plagues, and suggestive coincidences is to test your
sense of reality beyond the limits of reasonable tolerance--to enter the
sphere of unbelief, where demonic currents prowl, where fictions make
themselves real. Hyperstition.
