Robert A. Fischer — also known as Bob, Bobby “What next,” Robert Baru Fischer, Roberto HaHa! and Robert O'Fisher — worked as a desk rock star, art critic, author, media artist and anthropologist, leaving behind some 20,000 digital text files on music, new technologies and the zeitgeist. A comparatively modest selection of 239 texts is collected in this book. With an average daily dose of 3,000 to 4,000 keystrokes, Fischer hammered his thoughts (an “archive of the present”) directly into his machine in the tradition of écriture automatique, without revising them — writing under various names, for various formats, sober or drunk.
