Principia Paranoia: How to Survive Paranoia in a Paranoid World

Principia Paranoia: How to Survive Paranoia in a Paranoid World is not a self-help book.

That probably needs to be established immediately.

Originally written in 2005, Principia Paranoia is a fractured collection of essays, personal observations, poems, philosophical speculation, social commentary, political irritation, dark humor, and the occasional argument with humanity itself.

Written from the perspective of a younger man attempting to organize a mind that had very little interest in remaining organized, the book moves freely from intensely personal reflections to religion, politics, knowledge, mortality, anarchism, society, and whatever happened to wander into the author’s head next.

Among the recovered material are pieces including:

Waste of Skin
Reality, Who Wants It?
Never Stop, Never Give In
Stupidity Isn’t a Handicap
That Face
Back Off
Military Spending and the Horse You Rode In On
Anarchy from Anarchism: Rebelling Against the Rebellion

Rather than rewrite twenty-year-old thoughts from a modern perspective, this Recovered Edition preserves the original voice, contradictions, rough edges, and questionable judgment that made the manuscript what it was.

The original book also contained an entirely different work buried inside it. That material has now been removed, reclassified, and designated:

D.U.I. Archival Publication 002 — The Chrisine Corpus

Because apparently one book inside another book was not confusing enough.

This edition has been completely rebuilt in the style of a recovered Department of Unclear Intent archival file, with distressed documents, classified markings, illustrations, annotations, and other evidence that probably should have remained misplaced.

Wherein you will know more…
