Who doesn't want to read a graphic-novel guide to the demented present from @shumonbasar @douglascoupland & @hansulrichobrist â authors of the bestselling 'The Age of Earthquakes'?â â Spreads here are from 'The Extreme Self: Age of You,' published by @buchhandlungwaltherfranzkoenig and featured at our @expochicago bookstore, run in collaboration with @mcachicago â â If youâre wondering why the inside of your head feels so strange these days, this book has the answers. 'The Extreme Self' is a new kind of graphic novel that shows how youâve been morphing into something else. Itâs about the remaking of your interior world as the exterior world becomes more unfamiliar and uncertain. Basar, Coupland and Obristâs cult prequel, 'The Age of Earthquakes: A Guide to the Extreme Present,' was hailed as âa meditation on the madness of our mediaâ (Dazed) and âan abstract representation of how we feel about our digital worldâ (Hello!). Like that book, 'The Extreme Self' collapses comedy and calamity at the speed of swipe. Dazzling images are sourced from over 70 of the worldâs foremost artists, photographers, technologists and musicians, while kinetic design by @daly_lyon elevates the language of memes into a manifesto. Over 14 timely chapters, 'The Extreme Self' tours through fame and intimacy, post-work and new crowds, identity crisis and eternity. Crazed, hilarious, unsettling, true. No other book today so presciently predicts how the present and the future have become the same thing. 'The Extreme Self' is an accelerated tale for an even more accelerated culture. Welcome to the Age of You.â â Read more via linkinbioâ â #extremeself #shumonbasar #doublascoupland #hansulrichobrist #ageofearthquakesâ https://www.instagram.com/p/CcIuVFhLZk5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
