"You there. Reading this. You don't have to you know. But I have
succumbed to the narcotic tentacles of blogging and will be posting
a daily mishmash of uncategorical mental rubbish to appease my
strange and obscure urges to populate the info-sphere with my
creative spoor."
So begins this first volume of Posthuman Blues, the edited version
of the popular weblog maintained by author Mac Tonnies from 2003
until his tragic death in 2009. Tonnies' blog was a pastiche of his
original fiction, reflections on his day-to-day life, trenchant
observations of current events, and thoughts on an eclectic range
of material that he culled from the Internet. The result was a
remarkably broad portrait of a thoughtful man and the complex times
in which he lived, rendered with intelligence, imagination, and a
wickedly absurdist sense of humor.
"Posthuman Blues is of a piece with the Lost Generation of the
1920s and the Beat Generation of the 1950s. Tonnies spoke for his
generation with passion, eloquence, and a rare insight."
- A. J. Gulyas, author of Extraterrestrials and the American
Zeitgeist
"This book has the inventiveness and prose of a novel, but it's
good, honest observation and speculation. From lambasting fakery to
closing in on the true paranormal, Mac Tonnies takes us on a wild
trip. Tonnies was mysterious, maybe because he always had an eye
and ear for the mystery underlying our strange existence."
- John Shirley, author of Gurdjieff: An Introduction to his Life
and Ideas and the A Song Called Youth trilogy
"Mind-stretching "
- Clifford Pickover, Ph.D.
