If the Network Re(a)sonates.
A modest programmer is hired by a consortium to work on a chatbot emulating an ancient philosopher called Jacques Derrida. He has never heard of him and would be unable to read any of his work.

He wonders if there is something to be confessed that could elude the software. Puzzled by the coincidence, the programmer writes his own confession. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Substance: A Review of Theory & Literary Criticism is the property of Johns Hopkins University Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
