>>3 This would be my reading: Reference to machine makes me think deleuze. Considering death not on it's own, but as a territory for flows in the rhizomatic machine of technocapitalism. Also think about land's influence from bataille, for whom death and sacrifice is very important, serving as the ultimate mechanism for energy expenditure and the only way for humans to achieve real continuity. We take batailles concept of continuity of death (in other words, when you are alive you are individual and separate from everything around you, in death you are continuous with everything else), combined with Land's conception of capitalism as a "flattening", Deterritorializing force, and see how death becomes a machine part in capitalism's machinic Deterritorialization of everything.
