AI, TENS and Claude were not counted automatically; “Claude” is also a recurring human character in the wrestling material.Exact tools make documents feel executable
Actual Attack Documentation is the extreme case. evilginx, CreepJS, Monero, Faceswap, ElevenLabs, Raspberry Pi and other named components make the piece read like a technical operations document even as its ethical and fictional status remains unstable. The effect would be different if it merely said “hacking,” “crypto,” or “AI voice.”
Platforms are environments, not pipes
Across the frozen corpus, literal hits include Twitter in nine works, Spotify in thirteen, YouTube in thirteen and Substack in thirty. Those raw counts are not measures of importance, but the distribution matters: these systems appear as money interfaces, recommendation engines, search surfaces, social theaters, publication containers and memory prostheses.
ALGO PALACE and THE TELL-ALL HEART make recommendation systems co-authors of cultural adjacency. YOU ARE NOT ON THE LIST makes platform form itself part of the political/media argument. The work is often not “about the internet”; it is written from inside specific technical constraints.
Generative systems arrive early as working tools
NEW FORMS documents Midjourney and DALL-E prompt experiments in 2022; Summoning Demons With A.I. and Cat of Creases continue the generative-image route. Later, ANICONISM deploys “computer vision” inside a work about refusing the user’s own image. The technology migrates from novelty to aesthetic and epistemic problem.
The reference apparatus itself can be synthetic
Quantum Entendre includes Oliver Sacks, Heinrich Klüver, John C. Lilly, Project Cybersyn, the Conet Project, Lucier, Amacher, La Monte Young and others inside a reference/comparison apparatus. These entries are preserved as READING ROOM / SYNTHETIC APPARATUS, not silently converted into a handwritten author bibliography.
