Raimonds Ķirķis, the editor of the book, states: “One must be careful in a world where mass production has developed to such an extent that products are endowed with consciousness. Their intentions are misleading, their functions unruly, but the will turns out to be the very opposite of human. Žebers knows the secrets of our most passive everyday companions and has warned us right in time. The book can be used for educational purposes.”

Žebers (original name Andris Breže) is a poet and artist. Žeber's collection of poetry Spirits/Sidefects (2007), published in the publishing house Neputns, received the The Annual Latvian Literary Award in the category Poetry in 2008.
