Benjamin Noys is a professor of critical theory at the University of Chichester[1] and the theorist who coined the term accelerationism within cultural ideology.
[2][3] Benjamin Noys completed a BSc at Brunel University and both MA and DPhil from Sussex University.
[1] Noys is an academic critical theorist who is best known for borrowing the term accelerationism from the science fiction author Roger Zelazny and developing it within cultural and intellectual contexts.
[4][2] While Noys is a critic of accelerationalism,[5] this theory is used by many far-left[6] and far-right[7][8] extremists to justify speeding up societal changes to break the current system and allow society to rebuild in a post-capitalistic world.
[9] Noys has also been a critic of cryptocurrency, which has been linked to accelerationism.
