About the author

A Japanese avant-garde artist who is currently bombarding the internet with wave upon wave of highly experimental, uncompromising, progressive, intense prose. His is a writing style that not only breaks with tradition, it severs all cords, and can only really be compared to the kind of experimental writing techniques employed by the Surrealists, William Burroughs and Antonin Artaud. Embracing the image mayhem of the digital age, his relentless prose is nonsensical and extreme, avant-garde and confused, with precedence given to twisted imagery, pace and experimentation over linear narrative and character development. Blood Electric (Creation Books) was acclaimed by Dennis Copper, David Bowie. And he collaborated with David Toop, Andrew Liles. Recent books are HACK_ (2011), Googleplex Otakky (2012), Witzelsucht (2012), Cruel Akihabara Eroguro Mutants (2013), Mononoke Vibration (2013).

Reviews

[B. · Rating 1 out of 5]

You know that excitement/anticipation you have before you start reading a new book? Do you know how it feels when the book you crack open doesn't have any sentences and is just pure nonsense? It feels awful. This "book" made me so mad as I was hoping for an enjoyable read while I ate my sandwich. Sometimes I worry that I was simply not smart enough to understand the book but then I remember how fucking mad I was. Pardon the profanity.

Well, uh, I didn't ACTUALLY read it. Am I missing something? How does this get good reviews? Is there more to it than what is seemingly gibberish? Is there a code to crack?
