- Summary
- 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.
- "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.
