I AM THE SINGULARITY is a multimedia poetry project that encapsulates the myriad strange and contradictory feelings of being alive at the end of one world-epoch and the beginning of a new one. The book asks: What will be left of the Earth, and humanity, when technological civilization has run its course? How will we face all that we’ve done, and failed to do? And how shall we live in the meantime? Will love or beauty still save us? What’s truly worth living for, and dying for, in an age seemingly resigned to the crazy dream of a posthuman techno-utopia?
The centerpiece of the book is the title poem—a multipart epic-lyric tour de force, in the tradition of T.S. Eliot’s “The Wasteland” or Allen Ginsberg’s “Howl”—yet a unique beast of its own. This poem and a few others will form the backbone of a double-album, including musical accompaniment in a symphony of styles. Finally, a series of art videos will accompany the audio to add a visual dimension and reach the widest possible audience.
