A semi-autobiographical fable by a young Philipino about his awakening to, and reaction against, American cultural colonialism. In his primitive village, as president of his own Werner Von Braun fan club, he worshipped the Machine and the lotus-land of American technological promise. A totally original blend of the real and the surreal, poetry and politics, naivety and insight.
