Book Description

*Breaking with all existing writing traditions, Kenji Siratori-a young
Japanese writer-unleashes his first major publication Blood Electric. Firmly rooted in the 21st century digital-age, Siratori's cyber-punk writing is more concerned with vivid images, pace and developing a new writing and reading experience (which echoes the Surealists, Burroughs and French avant-garde Pierre Guyotat), than linear narrative and character development.

*Vividly evoking the coming to consciousness of an artificial intelligence, Blood Electric is a devastating loop of language from the Japanese avant-garde which breaks with all existing writing traditions. With unparalleled stylistic terrorism fully embracing the image mayhem of the internet/multimedia/digital age, Kenji Siratori unleashes his first literary Sarin attack.

*Contemporary Japan is exploding in slow-motion, and Kenji Siratori arranges the blood-and-semen-encrusted debris with the finesse of a berserk Issey Miyake. Rendering English-language cyberpunk instantly redundant with his relentless, murderous prose-drive, Siratori transmits his authentic, category-A hallucinogenic product direct to his reader?fs cerebellum. A virulently warped amalgam of Tetsuo and cut-up era William Burroughs.

*Blood Electric is the black reverb of a soft machine seppuku, a molten unspooling of sheet metal entrails and crucified memory banks into the howling void of violence. It is a cyborg crash nightmare of the new flesh, a final despatch from the mutant Hell where the embryo hunts in secret.

*Blood Electric is a devastating loop of language from the Tokyo avant-garde, with stylistic experimentation akin to Artaud or Burroughs, but embracing the image mayhem of the internet / multimedia / digital age. Kenji Siratori comes from within the history of radical literature, but his youth, cultural context, and understanding of the futurity of digital technologies positions him as the herald of a new literary dawn.

*This is the new Japanese cyberpunk classic by Kenji Siratori, the nationally acclaimed young cult writer from Hokkaido. A fatal collusion of drag embryos and DNA angels in Cadaver City ignites the circuitry of the ADAM Doll.... dogs of zero waging gene war in Placenta World, chaos unleashed by the digital vampires of Sato Corporation, nano-junk virus pandemic. The eyes of the ADAM Doll are fractured ports of entry to a terminal videodrome where the cyber-intelligent cut-up project aborts and implodes with amniotic velocity . . .
