Nick Land, né le 17 janvier 1962, est un philosophe, blogueur et écrivain britannique connu pour ses nouvelles d'horreur et en tant que « père de l'accélérationnisme ».
Son oeuvre a jeté les bases du genre de la « théorie-fiction ». Cofondateur dans les années 1990 du collectif Cybernetic Culture Research Unit , son travail a été associé au développement de l'accélérationnisme et du réalisme spéculatif,,.
Land est également connu, avec Curtis Yarvin, pour avoir développé dans ses travaux ultérieurs les idées anti-égalitaires et antidémocratiques derrière le mouvement NRx et le projet du Dark Enlightenment.

Contexte: God is nowhere to be found, yet there is still so much light! Light that dazzles and maddens; crisp, ruthless light. Space echoes like an immense tomb, yet the stars still burn. Why does the sun take so long to die? Or the moon retain such fidelity to the Earth? Where is the new darkness? The greatest of all unknowings? Is death itself shy of us?

Variante: Nothing human makes it out of the near-future.
