That's a fascinating connection, I hadn't thought about that. But there is a connection between the theoretical awareness of the nonhuman forces shaping reality in the 90s (technology, media, "the text") and the increasingly aggressive interventions by nonhuman forces in the UFO/abduction world. Maybe the greys are the earliest masks of the intelligent machines to come, leaning back through time...
a scholar for whom humans would be merely “industrious insects pollinating an independent species of machine-flowers that simply did not possess its own reproductive organs.”
This really strikes a chord with the late 20th century abduction tropes of extremely theatrical reproductive scenarios (stealing of semen/ ovaries, birthing hybrids, etc.) that have been reported by many abductees. Avoiding a literal interpretation, what do these acts "mean"? Would love to see him comment on this phenomena in relation to "intelligent machines" outlined above.
Indeed! I will be at the Spui25, a space at the University of Amsterdam, on Thursday June 13!
Yes! Come early (around 6pm) for the signing...

I will be at the London gig!
Hope to see you there!
I hope you'll be presenting Blotter in Amsterdam sometime this summer!
So fun! (All hail French-fried navel-gazing academics!) ps: I’m going to try to catch one of ur NYC dates.
