Cover title<br>"[A] single sheet of clear acetate [is] folded to form twenty transparent pockets into which are inserted and sealed sheets of papyrus and other traditional papers. On each piece of paper are texts dated from 385 B.C. to 1926 A.D. that deal with man's perception of the universe and his place as a thinking being within it. The acetate pockets are printed in turquoise with almost the exact same texts, except that any reference to the divine or to abstract philosophical thought processes has been replaced with references to cyborgs and virtual reality"--www.printedmatter.org<br>Library's copy is no. 23 of 75 copies issued.<br>Letterpress printing.
