PRISONERS OF THE VOID

The existential misgivings of a legal aid lawyer

I’ll suppose that the automaton adapted and restructured itself instinctively, and by behavioural permutations as it trundled along. My thoughts urge me to demonstrate how this creature that I am might have deviated significantly from a period early in the seventeenth century, only to loom larger as it sought to reform its relations with myths and legends. It seems this thing that I am has been forging its affiliations with the fabulous technologies it happens to have stumbled across. Frankenstein’s monster was a literary beacon for the age of technology. But it wasn’t a monster. It was an automaton made of human parts. It’s as a consequence of what appears to be the automated nature of my thoughts that I continue to probe at an increasingly comprehensive form of the Frankenstein narrative, to the point of making it the core supposition of my writing.  Otto Loser, 2018
