Rogue philosopher, autodidact, and eclectic writer of (techno-)folklore for the 3rd millennium, Ismael Sarepta is the author of the counter-cultural Philosophical Cypherpunk series, Madame Einzige -- a social/political satire set in the nihilistic malaise of the postmodern condition, and the unintended dystopian consequences of technology, featuring a subversive Nietzschean anti-heroine protagonist.A loner and social outcast since childhood, Sarepta is self-taught from a very early age in philosophy, history, political science, computing, informatics, and many, many other subjects; he works entirely outside of the academia and other establishments, and eh doesn't afraid of anything.His writings -- his essays and the Madame Einzige series -- draws from his own research, speculative imagination, critical analysis, oft-ignored scientific/intellectual research, and our 21st century Zeitgeist.Sarepta is an enthusiast of cyberpunk, speculative fiction, dystopian lit., [actually insightful] political thrillers, and certain space operas, which he believes are a contemporary manifestation of humanity's primordial spiritual inclinations. He is also an admirer of the aesthetic value of graphic novels (that literary snob's euphemism for "comic books"), and video games (to be euphemized as 'interactive digital theater', perhaps?)His essays have been featured in Humanity+ Magazine , Attack the System , Hashtags #Nietzsche and #Emergence, and he maintains a weblog of his writings at the Codex Sarepticus.Special interest include: Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Continental Philosophical tradition, Evolutionary Biology and Biohistory, the Anthropic principle, Technology and the State, Human & Digital Rights, Cyber-Security, Informatics.
