Cybersteppe
Cybersteppe is a term used by Charlotte Fang and others in Remilia discourse for the networked terrain traveled by "nomadic" internet users, as opposed to "sedentary" online communities. The term draws on the steppe and the nomadic peoples who crossed it.[1]
Gravity Boost Theory
Fang uses the term most often in discussing Gravity Boost Theory. In May 2023, Fang described Gravity Boost as an "infohazard outlining process for cannabilization for sedentary online tribes by nomadic network accelerationists trained in cybersteppe."[1] Fang also wrote that the theory "applies outwardly in cyber conquest for graduates of the cybersteppe", and that gravity boosters "never truly leave, everywhere carries with it network spirituality, boons and banner all."[2][3]
Commentary
In a November 2025 essay, writer Stephanie Wakefield described Remilia as attempting "to become a war machine of egoless subjects", descending "from the cybersteppe into the new cyber city". The phrasing draws on the "nomadic war machines" of post-1968 French theory, which the essay discusses.[4]
