Performer: You were listening to 'The Art of Asking Your Boss for a Raise', a radio play by Georges Perec. Protocoller, do you have any information on Perec?
Protocoller: Reading entry for 'Georges Perec' from the Wordhole Glossary in The Hitchhiker's Guide to an Active Archive:
   Writer, filmmaker and documentalist (French, 1936-1982). Member of the Oulipo group, a group of writers
   seeking for patterns and structures that could be used for practicing constrained writing. One of his 
   major projects was in effect producing and working with a writing algorithm, (also using flowcharts).
   In context: An example of his practice can be seen in "The Machine". For the full experience, it can 
   be best accompanied by its reading.

Performer: Cool.
