i got me a pdf of testo yonqui (in spanish).

the first chapter reads pretty good. it's really good actually-- but i haven't found it mind-blowing yet. it's very cyberpunk, and people have been doing that since the 80s/90s (first the writers and the artists, then donna haraway and all those college "technoculture" anthologies). not saying that she's not making her own contribution to this-- but she's part of a long storied tradition (as far as i can see anyway) of human animal as machine/ body modification/hacking. i did like the story about the cars a lot. i'm eager to get further into this.

she's also made me curious about guillaume dustan-- whose death launches the book. anyone here read him?
