Publishing Activism within/without a Toxic University
This experimental booklet features short reflections by members of the Radical Open Access Collective on publishing activism and its relationship to the neoliberal university.

Thinking with AI
This collected volume explores a novel approach to the intersection of artificial intelligence and the humanities, proposing that instead of merely writing about AI, scholars should think with AI. Rather than treating AI as an external subject of study, the essays explore how concepts from artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science can provide ways to rethink core humanistic questions of meaning, representation, and culture.

The Nabokov Effect
Another Nabokov stands at the 21st century, overleaping the decades to resurface when the signifier shimmers in a strange new light. To read Nabokov in humanity’s endgame is to depose our central myth of Nabokov-the-Author, even as it opens up broader questions concerning our ability to read him or, indeed any writer, today.

The Rubble of Culture
Humanity now faces the possibility that it will become extinct over the next few decades or so. This is not simply a reality about the biological fate of the species; it also raises the prospect of thought’s own extinction. But what does it mean for thought that it, too, might disappear?
