"In this book work the process of reading is as important as the controversial text which imprisons the cloned sheep. By opening the book and removing the sheep-shaped book within, the reader has become an agent of its creation. When the reader opens the sheep they set the cloning process into action and initiate an era of scientific exploration that cannot be reversed. In the blank faces of the replicated sheep, the reader sees either endless potential or contemplates the sad loss of the gift of uniquesness. And, though the issue can be momentarily closed or put aside, we realize that we can not unlearn discovery."--Letter from the author.
Bleitz's text is printed on the covers of the volume. The "text block" consists of a blank (white) shaped book in the form of a sheep.
