When I first picked up Bruce Clarke's last monograph, Posthuman Metamorphosis: Narrative and Systems (2008), it was not in the most auspicious circumstances. I was standing on a much delayed commuter train out of London, with just about enough room among the frustrated travellers to be able to hold a book, my elbows firmly pinned to my flanks. Yet, I remember little else from that 90-minute journey because of the mesmerising effect of the volume, particularly the pellucid exposition of George Spencer Brown in the opening chapters. Thus, it was with a sense of anticipation that I picked up Neocybernetics and Narrative for the first time.
