'''Michael Anissimov''' is a futurist and political thinker focused on emerging technologies.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20140427102803/http://www.acceleratingfuture.com:80/michael/blog/about-michael-anissimov/</ref>

<blockquote>"Mr. Anissimov writes and speaks on futurist issues, especially the relationships between accelerating change, [[nanotechnology]], [[existential risk]], transhumanism, and [[the Singularity]]. His popular blog ''Accelerating Future'' discussed these issues regularly. His central fields of study outside of futurism are normative rationality, models for judgement under uncertainty, and heuristics and biases research.</blockquote>

== Accelerating Future ==

''Accelerating Future'' no longer contains Anissimov's writings, but archive copies of articles are available via [https://web.archive.org/web/20140427102544/http://www.acceleratingfuture.com/michael/blog/ the Internet Archive].

==The [[Neo-reactionary movement|Neoreactionary Movement]]==

In 2013, Anissimov created the blog site MoreRight, seemingly as a counter to some of the ideas in [[LessWrong]]. MoreRight cannot be found on the Internet Archive, but is preserved on [http://archive.is/nZ16q Archive.is].

In 2015 Anissimov wrote and self-published the short book [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Critique-Democracy-Guide-Neoreactionaries-ebook/dp/B00TA70R3Y A Critique of Democracy: A Guide for Neoreactionaries]. The book is summarised as follows: "This guide explores the arguments against democracy. Democracy is often viewed as a mandatory system for any civilized country, but there is a compelling case, drawing on economics, political theory, and cognitive psychology, that claims otherwise."
