Epigraph
1. The Faith of Puppets
The freedom of the marionette
The faith of puppets
Demiurgy and tailors’ dummies
Leopardi and the souls of machines
The return of Ligeia
The golem and the circular ruins
Solaris and our world
The revelation of Philip K. Dick
Entering the Zone
Mr Weston drops a match
2. In the Puppet Theatre
Roof gardens, feathers and human sacrifice
Dark mirrors, hidden angels and an algorithmic prayer-wheel
Human redundancy and the cyborg economy
An iron mountain and a shifting spectacle
A universal Panopticon
Puppetry, conspiracy and Ouija boards
When the machine stops
3. Freedom for Über-marionettes
What science won’t tell you
Ethics for puppets
Gravity and the Fall
