Description
'Viral Suite' explores our relationship with self, other, environment, space, and time. The sensual and the cerebral. How the we/here/now is evolving and mutating with each downloaded packet.
"Viral Suite" is a poetic, narrative-driven science lesson. The book is unapologetically cerebral, and it takes risks." - Malahat Review
