Algorithmancer is defined by the author as an entity able to affect the internet algorithm in a way which evokes the feeling of divination, or an individual who goes viral for putting into words that which before had only been experienced. This collection of poetry focuses heavily on the experience of being autistic in the age of the internet as well as the author's life in a time of love, loss, and political turmoil that has been accelerating since the start of the lockdown in 2020. Some poems encourage the reader to imagine an alternate version of the author, while others are a true encapsulation of gritty, visceral experience. At times reminiscent of scrolling through a curated feed, it is up to the reader to experience the algorithm and ascertain which pieces mean something.
