"MERCURY RETROGRADE is not, as its title implies, related strictly to astrology, but rather uses Segal’s autofiction as an inroad into contemporary scene-wide currents; the memes, the magical thinking in today’s society, of which the popular pseudoscientific practice is a topical part. Published via Segal’s own independent press Deluge Books, the book follows an imagined account of the author—fresh from the crossover success of a trend forecasting art collective—taking up a job in an ambiguous internet start-up. She first accepts the role as a social experiment of sorts, going on to detail the meme-conscious hubris of her tech bro employers, along with their immaterial product."
