Doghead Cola emerged via the 1990s 'zine scene, a sardonic scribe of the Rave generation's "Secret Society hidden in plain sight." Smith's Each Of Illusion compiles a hedonistic decade's worth of literary mashups, spanning Cola's slacker-incensed rants, MDMA-inspired fiction, cut-up inversions of divine nature, surrealist dream recall, and experimental explorations channeling the likes of William S. Burroughs, Brion Gysin, Gertrude Stein, and Tristan Tzara - all running at a frenetic House Music tempo. Caught somewhere between Post-Punk and Cyberpunk, between Andy Warhol and Ronald Reagan, between the Beat Hotel and Hypertext - Smith's Each Of Illusion harnesses that period's fringe culture and maps its subversive territories with stirring, riotous, and recurrently thought-provoking playfulness. Encyclopedic and epic, this compendium serves as something of a monomythic analog to the Rave Generation as Finnegans Wake did for the Lost Generation.

Doghead Cola came up through the 'zine scene of the 1990s, where his notoriety - if there ever was any - flamed-out in a presumptuous stall (along with many other 'zinesters whose inability to leap mediums perhaps transferred their casual social criticism and experimental literature approaches into analogous staples of the proto-Blog scene that emerged post-Web circa 1994). Refusing to be out-maneuvered by a superior subversive force, he entrenched himself in the insurance industry where he gleefully erodes the American mainstream from its core, like imperceptible eusocial termites nibbling away at conventional interiors.
