A tour-de-force alike of dramatic Science Fiction narrative and of powerfully experimental prose-poetry, Mike Johnson's AE takes the reader on a wonderful, and terrifying, tour of the seven wonders of the universe. His protagonist, the Quasorg, a man-made quasi-sapient, is gifted with full consciousness by Andromedan aliens. Can Quasorg handle such instant total enlightenment? Could we because, deep down, AE stands as much for Alter Ego as Alien Essence. The machine-being's impossible dilemma is, ultimately, ours, in this notable fusion of narrative, idea, and experimental poetic form, now available again for the first time in 15 years.
