AB - "The absurdist spirit of Russian Futurism infuses this work which otherwise resembles a commercial website gone amok. While certain sections feel like conventional narrative literature, others include invitations to imagery theater events, warped Google searches, a manifesto addressed to the future of humanity, a propagandistic movie in support of 'Monad Technologies' and other less-definable digital genres. Whether this work is a cry from the past or from the margins of today, the Modernist communicative logic of broadcasting has clearly succumbed to the more prevalent logic of communication today: participation culture. While September 11th is evoked as an illustration for why we need to think 'beyond the human' because people gum up the perfections of (military) technology, <em>Reconstructing Mayakovsky</em> as a whole corrupts the panoptic logic of the database, the 19th century novel and the internet itself." -- from <em>Electronic Literature Collection, Volume 2</em>
