UNIVERSE - SPACE, WHERE TIME IS OF NO IMPORTANCE.
It seems that Sieberer's combining of two such different and
technologically diametrical fields of artistic expression (video and
literature) gives him the edge. He successfully transfers certain work
procedures from one field to another, thus enriching his own expression.8
From his writing, one can recognize author's unique, unconformable and
critical views that present the basic antagonisms of human society in
an ironic way.9

Sieberer
possesses a fresh,
lapidary style that in its own way
resembles a screenplay. Jessi’s Perpetual trips through time and space
are described in short chapters, barely establishing the scenery.
Instead, the stress lies on social and human relations. Despite the
futuristic milieu and extraordinary technology (portrayed ironically by
Sieberer), the reader easily recognizes the contrasts of a modern
society. It’s precisely this meander of political and business
contrarieties and intrigues, ecological unawareness, racism, sexism, to
name a few, that reveals our true life. This just might be the greatest
feature of this futuristic novel.10
