Sobre IBD

I am my own slave, Toil and strain under hot sun, My master is cruel. Filled with references to science, literature, death, history, the supernatural, popular culture, and cows, HAIKU FOR ROBOT MINIONS takes the ancient Japanese art of haiku where it has never been before. Sometimes serious, sometimes whimsical, and occasionally maddeningly vague, Drake frequently uses esoteric and arcane words and terms to draw you into the world inside his mind. Few would want to live there, but it is an interesting place to visit.
