Eugene Thacker’s “Starry Speculative Corpse" is the second volume of the "Horror of Philosophy" trilogy, together with the first volume, "In The Dust of This Planet", and the third volume, "Tentacles Longer Than Night."

Zero Books Manifesto:
The modern world is at an impasse. Disasters scroll across our smartphone screens and we’re invited to like, follow or upvote, but critical thinking is harder and harder to find. Rather than connecting us in common struggle and debate, the internet has sped up and deepened a long-standing process of alienation and atomization.
Zer0 Books wants to work against this trend.
