Dawn of the Algorithm

Description for Sales People: 1) OUR OBSESSION WITH THE APOCALYPSE: We cultivate a morbid fascination for the Apocalypse, the foretold End of All Things. The very notion is a vector for self-analysis a snap judgment of humankind by projecting into the future. What form will it take? Natural selection or pure self-destruction? Which sin of man will cause the downfall of mankind? Who, or what, will survive? 2) GIANTS, ROBOTS, ALIENS OH MY!: Dawn of the Algorithm includes illustrated poems about giants, robots, aliens and dinosaurs; disasters, catastrophes and spectacular cataclysms. By analogy, it is also about rupture: the micro-apocalypses that spark when you throw together love, longing, friendship and loss what some might call The Dark Side of the human experience. 3) PARISIAN POETRY SCENE: Rousselot is heavily involved with two poetry organizations in Paris: SpokenWord, one of the oldest and most popular english speaking open mic night and writers community in Paris, and Paris Lit Up, another poetry community which reads at a bar called Culture Rapide (often called the first Slam poetry bar in Paris)."Brief Description: A collection of poetry sprinkled with striking illustrations, Dawn of the Algorithm offers a technologically slanted and playfully prophetic spin on traditional verse. Review Quotes: "Words and images ricochet like bullets through the collection, poems exploding onto the page like dynamos." Sabotage Reviews "These are poems perfectly fit to capture the emotions, conflict and often comical nature of the 21st century." GeekyLibrary"
