More DescriptionA self-reflexive archaeology whose target expands, an inverted maelstrom engulfing violencetext, pornography, Ballardic-bardic structures - whatever either millennium has to offer. Archaeology extends through codework to these dreams haunting machines, "it was the dream in them," someone said, these wrytings grace and plot the garbled future of the planet. 2. This is a remarkable ground-breaking book, descendent of the movie marquee, military manual, love story, Odyssey. There is nothing else like it. Think of narratives of miracles for example, game boys or girls, or journeys illuminated by glow-worm texts down past the wrecks of World War I and II. Everything is here - literally everything. Think of the narratives of daily life, obscured, confused, kludged - that too. Think of untoward brilliance, and that too. Read this book! Just do it!
