Experimental Jejemon story "I m d 1 in 10" now at The Future Fire
My experimental Jejemon SF story “I m d 1 in 10” is now up at The Future Fire (with wonderful illustrations by Eric Asaris @MisfitToyArt).
This epistolary piece is my homage to Consolatio Philosophiae by Boethius as applied to the modern white collar migrant worker. It’s written partly in SMS speak and a Filipino-English argot called Jejemon. I have always been fascinated by how spelling drifts in orthography, particularly when mediated by new communications technologies.
Fair warning - it's not the easiest thing to read (on many levels) and it's nothing like my previous story from earlier this month - http://futurefire.net/2014.30/fiction...
