The chapters in this section introduce the reader to the essentials of Circuit Bending. I dropped them from the current edition of the printed book to make room for new material. By 2020 there's a lot of information on this subject available elsewhere, online and in print. But these essays still might have value to those starting on the bending road, and so for this temporary website I've uploaded pdf scans of the relevant chapters from the previous edition; the official Routledge site, when finished, will include updated, nicely formatted versions of these texts.
