" Voidopolis is a deeply engaging and beautiful work of erasure that invites the reader to fill in its blanks, standing in the role technology itself plays. Offering readers a parable via Dante's own traversal of inferno, purgatory, and paradise, Mustatea creates a clever and useful corollary for this moment in which so many people feel profoundly, inexorably lost." --Amaranth Borsuk, Associate Professor, School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences, and Director, MFA in Creative Writing and Poetics, University of Washington, Bothell; author of The Book "With its dependence on augmented reality and its origins in the performativity of social media, Mustatea's Voidopolis is the most modern retelling of Dante's Inferno on offer for our post-pandemic times. It depends on the infernal journey charted by Dante but is pervaded by a sense of loss not even present there. The medieval poem is a testament to memory and even in its fiction reads like a chronicle of history. Voidopolis is a true medieval dream vision, haunting and profoundly disturbing in its disappearing act. We, the readers, witness a tangible, interactive world that becomes immaterial and inaccessible with every attempt to enter it." --Kristina M.

Olson, Associate Professor of Italian and Italian Program Coordinator, Department of Modern and Classical Languages, George Mason University "As an ardent believer in hybrid literary ecosystems, I savored the experience of reading Voidopolis --a powerful fusion of that most ancient technological device, the book, with next-gen innovations and augmentations that meaningfully deepen the work's investigation of language, memory, and loss." --Sasha Stiles, poet, language artist, and author of Technelegy.
