Summary
This collection of beautiful, avant-garde poems explores the new forms of community that have developed in response to modern devices, such as cars and the internet. Experimental language, including an innovative use of the lingo used by players of multi-user dimension (MUD) online computer games, skillfully illustrates how people can anonymously coexist while feeling wholly connected.
