This quote may be of interest to you on hoax:
According to the tenets of Hyperstition, there is no difference in principle
between a universe, a religion, and a hoax. All involve an engineering of
manifestation, or practical fiction, that is ultimately unworthy of belief.
Nothing is true, because everything is under production. Because the future
is a fiction it has a more intense reality than either the present or the
past. Ccru uses and is used by hyperstition to colonize the future, traffic
with the virtual, and continually re-invent itself.

The quote is from the last par of: Communique Two:
Message to Maxence Grugier: 2001. If you can get past the idea that William
Gibson and cyberpunk is postmodernist, as does the Ccru, this site is a real
hoot!
best wishes
