ODDITY 17
“Exergues” from my manuscript The Tryst of Thetica Zorg for publication in Oddball Magazine. The Tryst of Thetica Zorg is Volume II of a posthuman series, which began with Volume I, The Rapture of Eddy Daemon (BlazeVOX, 2016). BlazeVOX will be publishing The Tryst of Thetica Zorg upon its completion in mid-2018, as well as the yet unnamed Volume III, anticipated in 2020.
The three volumes in this series are comprised of three nefarious computer viruses, each attacking their intended victims with a malware replete with prosody, agons and tropes. In The Rapture of Eddy Daemon, the computer virus “Eddy Daemon” attacks William Shakespeare’s 154 sonnets, infiltrating the sonnet form with advanced mathematics, genomics, trojan horse viruses, algorithms from the darknet, as well as bioengineered bots. In The Tryst of Thetica Zorg, the computer virus is this time, Thetica Zorg. Her intended target is the western canon of literature. In this manuscript, the actual malware code of a DDoS virus is embedded in each exergue.
