As online media flourished in the years leading up to 2007 a very funny publication, Roper by Ralf Zeigermann unfolded before our eyes.

First circulated in excerpts by early bloggers, a more finalized version of Roper has found its way into the hands of artists, writers, media professionals, science fiction fans, and more than a few trendsetters.

Creativity, wit, absurdist humor, and technology combine in this book which is available free (at least for a time.) Simply put, Roper is a delightful, off the wall glimpse into a creative phenomenon and a new frontier.

The Roper is an intergallactic cross between James Bond and Larry David. A must read.

It's funny, hilarious, intelligent and a very good read. Add Zeigermanns Cartoons and you have a pleasure-book without the guild. ;-)
(I want a printversion of this thing. Come on...)
