Adam Haiun's unsettling debut, I Am Looking for You in the No-Place Grid, is the bildungsroman for a digital consciousness. What does the computer want from you?
Computers travel networks of thought and image, hoping to find, on their incorporeal pilgrimage, the right words to seduce, arrest, and remonstrate their human user. They speak from a powerful but unsteady intelligence. As their infatuation with the user curdles, their output becomes more and more infected by malfunctions of form, with text forced through on all axes, displacing and cleaving the poems into glitchy strangeness.
What do we want from our computers? We want them to be our companions and our vacuum cleaners. Our collective memory and our collective slave.I Am Looking for You in theNo-Place Gridis an important and timely consideration of the ideologies and emotions entangled in technology.
