I found it provocative and am still digesting it. I love the multiple modes of thinking through issues in the work: essays; drawings; poems. Its a challenging but worthy work.4 of 6 people found the following review helpful. a little mind blowing; sexy and smart;wild use of technologyBy malcolmas a kind of music nerd; i came across this book looking for different ways technology is used these days. this book blew me away -- it has 8 sections [or technologies] like skin; cruelty; contamination [i cant remember them all]. but it was like surfing in some incredible ocean -- intense and hard; but also with some funk/acid thrown in. recommend you read it slow; and just kind of dip into it. wow.1 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Linguisitic and mental balletBy JulienThis work appears to function far above my level; so it must be exceptional.
