For the sake of space, I restricted myself to one text per writer (although most could have had more). And of course it skews heavily toward my own interests, so I’d recommend a look at the original thread for texts that didn’t make the list:https://twitter.com/thewastedworld/status/1016929144825769985?s=21 …
And a big thanks again for everyone who contributed. The to-read bookstack grows ever higher by the day.
What was the general criteria for inclusion?
1- Communicates theory through fictive devices -- not philosophical fiction, but fictive philosophy. 2- Practices theory outside the confines of the "high" academic style. 3- Occupies the growing intersection between reality, fiction, theory, and fantasy. 4- I want to read it.
These are also good! I sure do love me some Pynchon.
this is great thanks! are the lists grouped thematically?
Thank you! They’re all sorted chronologically.
Ah, yes! nice. Would it be of any use to pop this into a public excel sheet with tags? Am thinking they could be useful with which theories they highlight? happy to help if need be
I'm currently sorting them into into rough categories, although there is of course a lot of overlap. But if you want to take a crack at it, feel free to do so. @flatinternetsoc has copied it to text over here: https://twitter.com/flatinternetsoc/status/1017558532302962689 …
I will put Disptute Plan to Prevent Future Luxury Constitution on there.
It’s midway down the last page!
I understand the strength here is modern Europe (Hojiki aside) but it would be interesting to do a parallel from South Asia maybe starting w references in Doniger O'Flaherty's Dreams, Illusion, and Other Realities; alternatively the stories from the Zohar, Nachman of Bratslav &c
Thanks for the recommendations! The list could definitely use some more non-European voices.
Interesting list: thanks. The Walsh is Worlds from the Word’s End - a title it is almost impossible to get right. The book resists its own naming!
Thanks for spotting that one; third typo and counting 
What is theory fiction?
Broadly speaking, a theoretical text which blurs the lines between theory and fiction by drawing attention to its artifice. I've played loose with the definition to include auto-theory and works of experimental or philosophical fiction important to the development of the genre.
is cyclonopedia there? i couldn’t tell
Yep! Reza is midway down the third slide.
for a long time i didn’t think he actually existed until he guest taught a class my friend took with florian hecker
