Science, surrealism, number theory, and more dead Sigmund Freuds than
you can shake a stick at.
This is not a novel.
This is not a short story collection.
This is Self-Reference ENGINE.
Instructions for Use: Read chapters in order. Contemplate the dreams of
twenty-two dead Freuds. Note your position in spacetime at all times
(and spaces). Keep an eye out for a talking bobby sock named Bobby
Socks. Beware the star-man Alpha Centauri. Remember that the chapter
entitled "Japanese" is translated from the Japanese, but should be read
in Japanese. Warning: if reading this book on the back of a catfish
statue, the text may vanish at any moment, and you may forget that it
ever existed.
From the mind of Toh EnJoe comes Self-Reference ENGINE, a textual
machine that combines the rigor of Stanislaw Lem with the imagination of
Jorge Luis Borges. Do not operate heavy machinery for one hour after
reading.
