    About this ebook

    KURU is a short story about data. It's also a story about punk and resistance and originality.

     

    What happens when everything is recyled? Not just your trash, but your music and films? What appens when your coffee machine tries to predict how you like your coffee?

     

    The greatest act of resitance is to make things from scratch.

      [COFFEE]

      Hitachi Goodman makes coffee.

      They press the buttons on the machine and a small cup drops from the chute. There is a clunking, churning sound and dark liquid begins to pour into the cup from a small aperture above it. As the liquid reaches the rim, the flow is cut off and a chime sounds.
