Loading ...It is coming to our attention that we are gaining some new readers: as though The Neocrats were a nascent star, the hot gases slowly swirling into one big, bright ball of fire. We were hoping for your tired, your poor, your huddled masses, but apparently The Neocrats is more the preserve of the self-appointed global elite.
Chief amongst this self-regarding crème de la crème are, of course, the Neocrats themselves, and this quick bulletin is an introduction for those of you new to our ramblings. So, you have firstly me, Oscar de Clavier, editor of the site; I am both no one and everyone. There is afterwards Mogogo, our internationalist-in-residence and recovering corporate lawyer; he likes 1980s electropop far too much, and Bach far too little. But he’s clever, jolly and occasionally blinding. Sarmad is the composer-cum-ornithologist-in-residence, the most poetic of the Neocrats and also the most abstract; enjoy him. Saleem is our writer-in-denial, who constantly shirks his writing duties and passes off as brilliant incision a few cribbed factoids from his daily travels. Less regularly displayed are Eric, a fatherly type rescued by Mogogo from transience in Victoria Coach Station; and Andra, another corporate lawyer but as-yet unreconstructed. They are the Americans and perhaps the most activist, from human rights to climate change.
This introduction would be incomplete without some quick words about our leading commentators: Original Sin is the much-derided smarter-than-we-admit photographer-in-residence, former town drunk but now rehabilitated. Sanisha (who sometimes appears under other monikers) has no respect for anglophone punctuation but is a unique stream-of-consciousness voice, and she frequently makes the Neocrats stop and think. The Owl (be he Human, Humble or otherwise) lands occasionally to offer pellets of wisdom. Dorian Gray and Hannibal form the outrider core, readily and ably assaulting the Neocrats, deflating their egos and forcing them to try ever-harder.
So that’s us. Why are we here? We’re here for you, of course; the Neocrats are tasked with talking about things no other blog - anywhere - could possibly discuss. We’re the obscure brain trust of the entire Internet, so we urge you to ask us your questions in the comments of this entry, and we shall do our utmost to answer them.
Long live Neocracy, and welcome to the club.
