<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A collection of poetry sprinkled with striking illustrations, Dawn of the Algorithm offers a technologically slanted and playfully prophetic spin on traditional verse.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Dawn of the Algorithm</i>, Yann Rousselot's debut collection of poetry, is a bestiary of octosharks and dinosaurs, zombies and pathogens, mecha robots and common mortals. <p/> These monsters were raised on a diet of TV tropes, movie clichés, book snippets, and video game storylines. Some have beating hearts, others interlocking mechanical parts. They are forces of human nature, genetically engineered with a single purpose: to herald the apocalypse. <p/> Building on user-friendly motif and imagery, Rousselot draws acute, playful but painful conclusions about twenty-first century Earth. He paints a darkly comical portrait of humankind, a species plagued by heartbreak and alienation, yet driven by hope and, at the very core, a burning desire to connect. <p/> Illustration credits: Brian James Murphy, Osman Gani, Jihan Kikhia, Emma Strangwayes-Booth, Laura Stevens (photography), Sabine Dundure (photography), Lucile Taillade, Keith McDougall, Juliana Galbraith, Christiana Spens, Samantha Wong, Alex Manthei, Delphine Duprat, Mathieu Sourisse, Jordan Glass, Jérémie Paret, Aaron Lopez-Barrantes, Fan Aha, Eugenia Loli, Yann Rousselot.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>In some parallel universe where hip-hop took a decidedly more science-fiction/physics/neurobiology-oriented turn than in our sad, grey history, Yann Rousselot's poetry collection <i>Dawn of the Algorithm</i> would be the lyrics booklet to the most exciting new album of the 21st Century. --Caustic Cover Critic <p/> If you're looking for a sci-fi poet, page Rousselot. --Reading Glutton <p/> <i>Dawn of the Algorithm</i> is sharp and witty, contemporary and timeless. --Perihelion Science Fiction <p/> Words and images ricochet like bullets through the collection, poems exploding onto the page like dynamos. --Sabotage Reviews <p/> Cynically humorous. --The Science Fiction Poetry Association <p/> These are poems perfectly fit to capture the emotions, conflict and often comical nature of the 21st century. --GeekyLibrary <p/> Like a writer with passion sat down and did what Hem-ing-way talked about: bled onto the page. --Elan Samuel<br>
