Cobralingus: Metamorphiction

Front Cover
Codex, 2001 - Fiction - 120 pages
Cobralingus allows language to partake of a future liquid state of consciousness. It applies the techniques of electronic dance music to the production of words, dissolving language. In this mutated, liquid state, words are manipulated into new forms. The Cobralingus filtering device borrows text and samples it. The metamorphiction process remixes this inlet text, transforming it into something entirely different. The imaginary technologies utilized free the mind from all constrictive patterns, creating new and exciting poetry, songs, stories, jokes and even graphic texts. Please note: Cobralingus involves no computational algorithms except for the strangely twisted pathways inside Jeff Noon's head.
