More DescriptionWho is the Oriental Cyborg? asks Aditi Natasha Kini in this collection of notes, jokes, and queries into the provenance of a creature designed for labor, 3-D printed in the technoscientific post-colonies, modeled on old automata.

Perhaps this, the Oriental Cyborg, is a fantasy more than a memory, or an echo more than a form - or just an essayist's extraction of personal anguish and humor from globalist decay. Taking on the form of historical analysis / lyrical essay / documentary poem / experimental buzzword / positionality statement, this chapbook and its titular character might still be an elusive mystery even after reading.
