"This is a book that is made entirely of found texts. All the texts have been taken out of the internet, either from spam e-mail, spam blog comments or discussion groups’ websites. I’m hoping that with this archival gesture I’m able to reserve at least some of that culture that we were perceiving in the early years of the 21st century. Some say we have entered a post-human era, and it’s fitting we have a burgeoning brand of literature - the literature of the robot!" - Juri Nummelin"Our network world is the world of spam and excess. This book by Juri Nummelin is also a glimpse to the circulation of desires and perversions of this network culture of capitalism. (...) This book (...) is also a glimpse to the circulation of desires and perversions of this network culture of capitalism. (...) we learn of another kind of a message: don’t be afraid to embrace your spam! They tell you the truth about the processes of interpellation that try to hail you as the proper capitalist subject! Love your spam as you love your emails from friends!" - Jussi Parikka in his afterword to the volume
