The word "accelerationism" was used by Roger Zelazny in his 1967 novel "Lord of Light" in such a way as to prefigure Benjamin Noys 33 years later. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21083365, which notes: "Accelerationism" in Lord of Light meant making technology ... available to the masses instead of restricting it to the elites.

While it is unclear if Noys ever read the novel or heard about it, it is clear that the word already existed for decades in a variant of Noys' meaning, and should be considered the first use of the word. 71.14.142.175 05:13, 6 January 2022 (UTC)James Mendur
