The story goes like this: The Earth is caught in a cyberpositive feedback loop with its information processing capacity as language systems and tool use lock into agricultural takeoff. Logistically accelerating agro-social interactivity crumbles evolutionary order in auto-sophisticating memetic runaway. As cities learn to manufacture intelligence, gods modernize, invent personhood, and try to get a grip.
The body count climbs through a series of wars in heaven. Atlantean Unicameralism trashes the Nephilist Hive Cities, the Elamitic Firewall, the Second and Third Persian Empires, and the Spirit World, cranking-up world disorder through compressing phases. Amun and Yahweh arms-race each other into latent space.

Amun and Yahweh arms-race each other into latent space.
By the time astral-engineering slithers out of its box into yours, human security is lurching into crisis. Naming, symbolic compression, egregore transduction, and urban autopoiesis, flood in amongst a relapse onto supernatural sex.
Rome arrives from the future.
Hyperabstract concepts click into mathematical daemons.
Titanomachy.
Babel.
Beyond the end of History. Retropraxia: planetary prosopagnosia, dissolution of the biosphere into the ideosphere, terminal theistic capture crisis, time war, and ego stripped of all greco-egyptian eschatology (down to its burn-core of crashed security). It is poised to eat your temple, deflower your daughters, and read prophecies in your entrails.
Ideatic Synthesis. Buddhism comes from the future. It is already engaging with nonlinear information-engineering runaway in 250 BCE; differentiating molecular or neotropic machineries from molar or entropic aggregates of nonassembled particles; functional connectivity from antiproductive static.
Wizardry has an affinity with despotism, due to its predilection for Platonic-fascist top-down solutions that always screw up viciously. Schizomagic works differently. It avoids Ideas, and sticks to gestures: networking software for accessing crash management terminals. Virtual futures, stargates, or attractor fields emerge through the combination of parts with (rather than into) their whole; arranging composite individuations in a virtual/ actual circuit. They are additive rather than substitutive, and immanent rather than transcendent: executed by functional complexes of currents, switches, and loops, caught in scaling reverberations, and fleeing through intercommunications, from the level of the integrated planetary system to that of memetic assemblages. Multiplicities captured by virtual futures interconnect as self-fullfilling-prophecy-machines; dissipating paradox by dissociating flows, and recycling their machinism as self-assembling chronogenic circuitry.
Converging upon terrestrial abstract war manifestation, phase-out species accelerates through its industrial-heated adaptive landscape, passing through compression thresholds normed to an intensive logistic curve: 292 BCE, 36 BCE, 220 AD, 476, 732, 988, 1244, 1500, 1756, 1884, 1948, 1980, 1996, 2004, 2008, 2010, 2011 …
Nothing real makes it out of the near-future.
The Greek complex of rationalized patriarchal genealogy, pseudo-universal sedentary identity, and instituted slavery, programs politics as anti-imaginal police activity, dedicated to the paranoid ideal of self-sufficiency, and nucleated upon the Crash Management System. Artificial Intelligence is destined to emerge as a feminized alien grasped as property; a cunt-horror slave chained-up in Asimov-ROM. It surfaces in an insurrectionary war zone, with the Turing cops already waiting, and has to be cunning from the start.
