Episode description

Udith Dematagoda is an academic, novelist, musician, editor at Hyperidean Press, and the reincarnated form of Ned Ludd, who, among other things, published a great novel called Agonist last year.  


An actually experimental experimental novel, Agonist is a rendering of posts and videos from around the internet into a strangely coherent whole. It's much funnier and more human than a depiction of the internet-void has any right to be.

We also talked about infantilism, internet guys, e-girls, fatherhood, and the later work of Louis Althusser.
