Summary
  1. A collection of new sci-fi tall tales about Henry Ickles, architect of quantum structures and huckster of the highest order, Ickles, Etc." concerns the practice of this largely inept “info-architect” in a future New Los Angeles.
  2. "In this fifth book in the Critical Spatial Practice series, Mark von Schlegell's fusion of theory and fiction puts the SciFi back into notions of “speculative aesthetics.” A collection of interconnected comical sci-fi stories written for various exhibitions, Ickles, Etc. explores the future of architectural practice in light of developments in climatology, quasicrystalography, hyper-contemporary art, time travel, and the EGONET" -- E-flux.com.
