Synopsis

In a laughably absurd world and time in which humanity seems to have lost its mind–a time when a new form of sentience is being invented, when computers are inching closer to being capable of simulating nature, and when an orange man with a poster board is yelling something about “liberation” as he flips the world order on its head–it is natural that those just now growing up have completely lost sight of their sense of Self. It is natural that my generation–Generation Z–and following generations find ourselves lost, seemingly incapable of getting even a single foothold to ground ourselves, our minds trapped behind social media algorithms, existential crises, and youthful ignorance.

To put it simply, we are scared and confused. It feels as though we were born on the Titanic after it had already begun sinking. Whether it be ecological collapse, the prospect of nuclear war, economic exploitation, political polarization, aliens, a technological revolution so unfathomable that not even tech CEOs know what’s going on… well, let’s just say that my generation does not seem alone in being scared and confused. The only difference is that we are just starting out in life, our experiences confined to a sinking ship without a captain.

This book is my personal guide (so far, as I am only 24) on how to find greater peace in life amidst such a laughably absurd world.
