New York: Random House, 2010. Stated First Edition with full numberline 12mo size hardcover with dust jacket; 112 pages From dust jacket: "This collection of aphorisms and meditations expresses (the author's) major ideas in ways you least expect... It represents (the author's) view of modern civilization's hubristic side effects - modifying humans to satisfy technology, blaming reality for not fitting economic models, inventing diseases to sell drugs, defining intelligence as what can be tested in a classroom, and convincing people that employment is not slavery. Playful and irreverent, these aphorisms will surprise you by exposing self-delusions you have been living with but never recognized."
