the most interesting accelerationist is nick land. he says that accelerationist time is a technomic time, characterising the time structure of accumulation of capital. means that capital includes technology and economy as its co-components. this explanation of the relation between economy and technology reminds on althussers term of overdetermination. but furthermore land thinks, that the economic and the cybernetic machine are identical. accelerationism is not a political position, instead its the fate of a posthuman era. but is economy really a domain of capital or capital itself? than technology ( as a non-neutral indifference) would be determined by capital in the last instance. the relation of technology and economy would not be indistinguishable, but parallelized, and this under the dominance of the term superposition (the real in the last instance). this would give us a clearer picture, what acceleration of capital time structures really mean.
