“The Thirst for Annihilation” (1992) was Nick Land’s (1962-) groundbreaking analysis of the philosophy of Georges Bataille (1897-1962) and his concept of Libidinal Materialism. The Thirst for Annihilation is regarded as one of the most influential scholarships on the works of Bataille and a legendary text in contemporary Philosophy.

Land draws on Bataille’s early work around “Base Matter” to develop his concept of Libidinal Materialism.
