Picture a bleached blonde waif, a self-described hacker by night - slash - computer programmer by day, in her late twenties; a New School dropout desperate to act out her role as the anorexic Über-Feminist (vis-à-vis Simone Weil’s pale indignant visage) - and change the world for the becoming resurrection of a higher and more perfect Communism. Her naivete was only matched by her fragile faith in the homeostatic healing properties of Gaia.
