From the Preface:
This is a story, not a contribution to historical research. It is the story of a man traveling by bus through the Saharan desert and, at the same time, traveling by computer through the history of the concept of extermination. In small, sand-ridden desert hotesl, his study closes in on one sentence in Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness: "Exterminate all the brutes."
