M
is Michael Aro’s dark, satirical
commentary on our twenty-first century
global monoculture of capitalism,
technology and entertainment. It
presents the stories of a bookstore
clerk, a five-dimensional alien, a cabal
of nine individuals who control the
world’s political, socio-economic, and
religious institutions, an orphan
genius, a group of monks on a sand
mandala tour, and Artificial
Intelligences modeled after Tesla,
Nietzche, Erasmus, Joan of Arc and
Barbie. The result is a devastatingly
funny critique of contemporary
civilization.
