Internet Presence
Speculative Realism is notable for its fast expansion via the Internet in the form of blogs. Web sites have formed as resources for essays, lectures, and planned future books by those within the Speculative Realist movement. Many other blogs have emerged with original material on Speculative realism or expanding on its themes and ideas, and podcasts featuring various speculative realists have also appeared online.
Publishers such as Zero Books, Re.Press, punctum books, and Open Humanities Press have contributed to this growth as well, publishing PDFs of books and signing contracts with bloggers to produce literature pertaining to speculative realism. This represents a general trend within speculative realism; a willingness to abandon traditional methods of publication/communication in favour of innovation.
