Long abstractThe found manuscript comprising one Cyclono-pedia—that is, the “thick piece of writing” that Kristen Alvanson exhumes from under the bed in her Istanbul hotel room bearing the handwritten name of Reza Ne-garestani—has already begun to deteriorate.1 Our hero-ine notes that “everyone in this manuscript seems to disappear without a trace” as she reads of persons who are “characterized by their exit-level.”2 By this description, the closest thing to a character in her somnambulist’s treasure is Dr. Hamid Parsani, who has already departed when the manuscript begins. Parsani is constructed through an assemblage of anonymous remembrances, fragmented writings, and obscure commentary. His “newly discovered notes” are the cause of the “tumultuous discussion” and “fe-verish excitement” that will form the bulk of the text.3At its most banal level, the manuscript Cyclonopediais a posthumous collaboration between Parsani and the distributed anonymous author-collective Hypersti-tion, is narrated by or addressed to the fictional quan-tity Reza Negarestani, and is edited, introduced, annotated and ruthlessly deformed by Kristen Alvan-son.
