This book offers an examination of Jeff Noon’s iconoclastic debut novel, (1993). In this first book-length study of the novel, which includes an extended interview with Noon, Wenaus considers how complicates the process of literary canonization, its constructivist relationship to genre, its violent and oneiric setting of Manchester, its use of the Orphic myth as an archetype for the practice of literary collage and musical remix, and how the structural paradoxes of chaos and fractal geometry inform the novel’s content, form, and theme. Finally, Wenaus makes the case for ’s ongoing relevance in the 21 century, an era increasingly characterized by neuro-totalitarianism, psychopolitics, and digital surveillance. With , Noon begins his project of rupturing feedback loops of control by breaking narrative habits and embracing the contingent and unpredictable. An inventive, energetic, and heartbreaking novel, is also anoptimistic and heartfelt call for artists to actively create open futures.
