The thing on Michael's head is called The Paranoia Machine. It is a bio-specific device and text that can be read by peripheral vision.

Hi people. Thanks for your comments. Here is an email address that I can be reached at: thenewpostliterate@gmail.com Being a self published author, for myself, is like a rollercoaster that goes up and down. It's exciting. But after awhile it can get old. My style of writing (asemic writing) is somewhat experimental, so I felt that I wouldn't have a chance with a conventional publisher. I did make contact with a couple of publishers and didn't get a response. So rather than keep trying to find someone willing to put out my work, I decided to have at it myself. I have been at it for three and a half years. I've learned alot along the way. Get a blog. I have been blogging for a year now and wish I would have gotten one sooner. I'll plug my blog while I'm at it. It's: http://thenewpostliterate.blogspot.com
