      Exploring the impact of transitioning from a language-based culture to one dominated by digital code, this book examines how such a shift influences personal experiences. It contrasts the restrictive nature of data with the liberating potential of Dadaist literature, which advocates for open forms of self-narration and expression. The work highlights the possibilities for creative freedom amidst the confines of a closed system.

      The Literature of Exclusion
    • This book analyzes Jeff Noon's debut novel, Vurt (1993), exploring its impact on literary canonization, genre construction, and its Manchester setting. It includes an interview with Noon and discusses themes of chaos, fractal geometry, and the relevance of Vurt in today's neuro-totalitarian context, advocating for creative freedom and open futures.
