Excerpt from the article:

(...) The Junky is a creature of infinite temporalities, incorporating, in a very specific sense, various infinities of differing cardinalities within that cold, gray flesh of his, “waiting on the Man...” The Junky knows the differential truth of inner time, of the subject-as-time and the rhythms that create it: the endless cycles of shooting up and getting strung out. The self as a function of junk’s ebb and flow within the veins: 12 hours between each shot… 8 hours… 6 hours… less if you move around, more if you’re asleep.

Acceleration is the natural enemy of the Junky and the Junky merely an extreme extension of the human organism: the Junky is a creature of habit par excellence, the idealization of the habit-process. The ‘metabolic rift’ brought about by the technologically enabled acceleration in the Anthropocene is in no way confined to external nature, or what we generally mean by the word ‘nature.’ The Junky, in his flight from the absolute, rectilinear and succession-based time of capitalism, is proof of the rift produced within the biological subject.
