Necrology

Schism[2] press brings you an exercise in sensory overload from the minds of Gary J Shipley (Theoretical Animals, Dreams of Amputation, The Face Hole, etc.) and Kenji Siratori (Blood Electric, Acidhuman Project, Mind Virus, etc.) that pushes the limits of both human expression and that which can be assimilated in terms of socially-sanctioned pattern-recognition. Self-referring, auto-cannibalistic texts that hover and shimmer around the borders of the asemic, yet still retain a vivid relevance to the current post-human cultural landscape. A cyberpunk katabasis beyond Burroughs or Guyotat. Appendix by Reza Negarestani.

How it works

Similar query

Doc fetch goes through Layer's Aerospike pull-through cache; cache hit served the row without touching turbopuffer. The similar query asks Layer for nearest neighbors of the stored product vector — queries don't go through the doc cache, so no cache header is set.
