CCRU

The Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (CCRU, sometimes typeset Ccru) was an experimental cultural theorist collective formed in late 1995 at the University of Warwick in England, gradually separating from academic institutions until it dissolved in the early 2000s. It developed a reputation for its idiosyncratic theory-fiction — texts incorporating philosophy, cyberpunk aesthetics, numerology, and occultism into a deliberately destabilizing form.

Its leading figures included Sadie Plant, Mark Fisher, and Nick Land, alongside a rotating cast of graduate students and collaborators.
