| Introduction | This is the web version of classic cut'n'paste fanzine Ghost in the Machine (art/lies/culture/truth). It features different, web-only content. The production of the actual zine has slowed down after the first issue as I spent over a year living in Taiwan then doing a load of other hectic stuff, but am now working on putting together issue #2! I have some great contributors and am very excited. Those wishing to obtain a copy of #1 or contribute to #2, please email ghostzine@gmail.com Also, if you want to follow me on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/Alexicle |
