That said, just like Kirschenbaum's efforts to bring Agrippa back from the dead and Huth et al's efforts to bring bpNichol's First Screening back to accessibility, it seems that sooner or later - regardless of authorial intent - we feel we must, we really *ought* to preserve. It would be truly radical, truly post-human of us to resist this urge.
