The MISCosity Manifesto

mini-essays on philosophy, pop culture, puns; profusely illustrated.

The world's confusions aren't a bug. They're a feature.

Everything is weirder and more complex than our minds can imagine.

Don't fear chaos; embrace it.

We don't need to tear the fabric of society apart.

Big business already did it.

We need to sew it back together.

Dehumanizing "The Other" isn't just something "those people" do.

Everybody's "weird." Nobody's "superior."

Live as if the rules apply to you. Because they do.

If you're going to do something, mean it.

THE MISCosity MANIFESTO is a guided tour through a bizarre, surreal, confounding place-

the world where we all live, and also the worlds of stories and the arts.

Its purpose: to teach a way of thinking, a way of living, a way of imagining, a way of working in the world, and a way of working toward a better world; all in snappy prose with lots of pictures.

The book is hard to describe and harder to categorize, but easy to read and enjoy.

You are going on a journey.

From outer space

to the inner mind.

From the past to the future,

or rather to many futures.

From the imagined realms

in books and movies

to the realities of modern society.

You're already on this journey.It's called life.Get better prepared for it.
