{"product_id":"9780977294596","title":"Solid Confessor","description":"The anonymous cult classic of the early machine age \"The Solid Confessor\" has intrigued readers for over a decade: its literary dementia is akin to the best of 1960's Russian Science Fiction set within a gritty, distinctly American Beat literature perspective. Often compared to everything from Economic Genre fiction to Textual Arcology, \"The Solid Confessor\" continues to defy convention and easy definition: an apocalyptic, dense, horrific, hyper-referential document of the intrusion of information science upon the biologic, \"The Solid Confessor\" is in the end a documentary of dystopic technocracy.\u003cp\u003eThis edition, lavishly illustrated by Kjell Otterness and with a new forward by A.J. Specktowsky, brings our nightmares of a world dominated by science, technology and biological mutation out from the dark and into the present.
