I never imagined it would receive so much support, attention, interest, and criticism, and I’m incredibly grateful for all of it. Thanks to everyone who has shared their thoughts, invited me to talks and interviews, organized reading groups, or engaged with the book in any way. 2/3

And apologies for the times I didn’t reply properly—there have been moments when I was overwhelmed and just couldn’t keep up with the emails and DMs, even though I truly appreciate every single one.

Thank you ❤️

3/3

I actually started with your theses and read the book a while later.

Nice added it to my reading list 👍 can I ask who were your biggest influences in writing this?

sorenmau.bsky.social•23 days ago

Good old Karl Marx! And Michael Heinrich and Ellen Meiksins Wood and Andreas Malm

Thank you, appreciate it!
Been meaning to read Andreas Malm for ages. It’s a shame the list grows quicker than I can get through it lol.

one of the most important books of our time really helped push my thinking forward

I got on board early 😇(I actually did a full read-through with extended notes based on the 2019 PDF before the book was even published!), it's a really cool contribution to today's critical theory discussions🔥
Sending you love and wishing all the best for the future, Søren!

yeah I clearly remember you posting about it on twitter in 2019/20, I think that made many people interested in the book - thank you so much for that ♥️
