This paper examines the impact of neoreactionary (NRx) thinking – that of Curtis Yarvin, Nick Land, Peter Thiel and Patri Friedman in particular – on contemporary political debates manifest in ‘architectures of exit’. We specifically focus on Urbit, as an NRx digital architecture that captures how post-neoliberal politics imagines notions of freedom and sovereignty through a micro-fracturing of nation-states into ‘gov-corps’. We trace the development of NRx philosophy – and situate this within contemporary political and technological change to theorize the significance of exit manifest within the notion of ‘dynamic geographies’. While technological programmes such as Urbit may never ultimately succeed, we argue that these, and other speculative investments such as ‘seasteading’, reflect broader post-neoliberal NRx imaginaries that were, perhaps, prefigured a quarter of a century ago in The Sovereign Individual.

软件,主权与Neoliberal后退出政治

本文研究了新反应(NRx)思维(特别是柯蒂斯·雅文,尼克·兰德,彼得·泰尔和帕特里·弗里德曼的思维)对当代“退出架构”中政治辩论的影响。我们特别关注Urbit,这是一种NRx数字体系结构,它通过将民族国家细分为“政府军”来记录新民主主义政治如何想象自由和主权的概念。我们追踪NRx哲学的发展-并将其置于当代政治和技术变革的背景下,以理论上将出口清单的意义理论化为“动态地理”概念。尽管诸如Urbit之类的技术计划可能永远不会成功,但我们认为,这些以及诸如“海洋稳定”之类的其他投机性投资反映了更广泛的NRx后虚构的想象,也许是,主权个人。
