   • 2011, Reza Negarestani, “Drafting the Inhuman: Conjectures on Capitalism and Organic Necrocracy”, in Levi Bryant, Nick Srnicek, Graham Harman, editors, The Speculative Turn: Continental Materialism and Realism (Anamnesis), Melbourne: re.press, →ISBN, pages 192–193:

     Life of the organism is determined by the way it must return to the inorganic state. […] In short, necrocracy suggests the strictures of the conservative economy not in regard to life but in regard to ways the organism dies; and it is the way of returning to the originary death that prescribes the course of life for the organism. Accordingly, necrocracy does not imply that every life brings with it the de facto reign of death from the beginning or that living is submitting to the rule of death. Instead necrocracy suggests that the organism must die or bind the precursor exteriority only in ways that its conservative conditions or economic order can afford.
