Some stuff i wrote (or otherwise assembled):

• "Cyberpunks" to Synners: Toward a Feminist Posthumanism? An examination of Pat Cadigan's novel Synners, as it relates both to "cyberpunk" a nd to feminist thought.
• Dromologies: Paul Virilio: Speed, Cinema, and the End of the Political State A brief overview of Paul Virilio's thought.
• EMailArt Medley: Bookish's Bed/Other People's Mail An honoria/bookish collaboration. [under construction]
• Futurism/post-Futurism From the Italian Futurists to cyberpunk, SRL and Laibach: a survey of futurisms, no-futurisms and retro-futurisms.
• Futurist Synthesis: Energy & Fear A poem of sorts, for F.T. Marinetti.
• Light on Beacon Books: Reading a Popular Product Line My MA thesis. [under construction]
• Poetry A rather mixed bag...
• Pornologies: Sex/Violence/Power/Knowledge A strange little essay on pornography, with reference to the work of Andea Dworkin, Georges Bataille and Michel Foucault.
• Reading The Situationist International Some thoughts about adapting the work of the SI to contemporary uses, particularly for those of us whose French could be better...
• Roundhouse Stories: The "Soggytown" Project The official archive. [under construction]
• Running Down the Meme: Cyberpunk, alt.cyberpunk, and the Panic of '93 The Billy Idol flames are still appearing on alt.cyperpunk, every now and then. This essay ventures a guess or two about why "cyberpunks" are so pro tective of their memetic turf.
• Situationist International Bibliography An incomplete, but growing, list of situationist writings in English. Additions and corrections welcome.
• Theses on the Use of the Situationist International A preliminary rant about using the work of the situationists, particularly in the context of the "postmodern."
• Voices from the Net: An early electonic 'zine, edited by Count Zer0, Neuro and your truly.
• What Means This Art Strike? Was it a social movement, or just a "bad idea"? Mail art, postmodernism and sociology make strange bedfellows...

AKA Bookish? Who's this bookselling poststructuralist anarchist radical history buff with the electric dulcimers, anyway ?
