"Taking off along the grotesque evolutionary curve of the internet, this novel by Mochu brings together Japanese otaku subcultures, Hindu mythology, darknet highways, ultraviolent cyberpunk forums, and renegade university departments to forge a transnational narrative that trips through the incompatible fantasies of rationality and civilization, with wormholes through ancient tales, recent cinema, plain-wrong art histories, and pirated philosophical reflection"
Our design operates between the stylings of a traditional novel and communications across digital and analogue media that informed the narrative; including online message boards, faxes and telegrams, and cryptic digital passphrases. The cover features a cryptid, conceived and modelled after the themes and motifs from the text.
