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).

[Brian · Rating 1 out of 5]

i didn't end up reading this book because when i opened it up, i saw that it was actually a code to rewire your brain. some of the text goes like, "terror tear=cytoplasm gene-duv of the drug fetus of the trash sense to the modem=heart of the hybrid corpse mechanism that turned on technojunkies' ill-treatment is aspirated acid guerilla to the paradise apparatus of the human body pill cruel emulator abolition world-codemaniacs that was processed data=mutant@ultra-machinery tragedy-ROM creature..." it goes on and on like that for pages. endless pages of mental hard-drive-overloading syntaxlessness.

The lines of codes that make up physical structures/intangible emotions that I wouldn't be able to comprehend once I passed over as a formless entity traveling through space. Kenji Siratori created the horror that I may or may not be able to recognize beyond my current state.

Makes sense.
