Imagine you’re at some swanky hipster bookstore that sells cocktails and doubles as a performance space in the evenings. The whole place smells like wood varnish, and people are making shapes from their moustaches that mathematicians will have nightmares about for years to come.
Then imagine a cooler space, one where tipsy physicists might mingle with comedians and geeks and writers and painters and fashion designers. A place where the books are just as interesting as the people buying them.
What books might linger in such a peculiar environment?
These ones, probably.
Picture is of Phillip Carter’s books WHO BUILT THE HUMANS and WHO KILLED THE HUMANS, as well as a third, obscured book whose title cannot be read yet.
That’s it. That’s the email.
You’re the first people to see these.
If you’re new here, the WHO BUILT THE HUMANS? books are Science Fiction and Comedy stories. The first one follows eleven universes simultaneously, giving you the reader the ability to reshape the book as you’re reading it. This means the stories have re-read value, and that they are as simple or as complicated as you want them to be. There are jokes and references in these pages that some clever people discovered on their third read-through. If you’re not into exploring, you can read the book front-to-back and just take in the stories. Nice and easy. It’s your adventure, after all.
And the second one? You’ll find out soon.
Lastly, I need some more eyeballs sliding around on the screens. If you have any spare, get them out of their jars. If not, press this button to summon other people’s eyeballs.
And if you can, please ‘like’ this post and comment on it, because it shows Substack that this is a post worth putting in front of people, and as I build up to the release of book 2, I really need more people looking at it.
More details will be revealed soon.
Including a book signing event at a cocktail bar.
