These 900 original aphorisms by Colin Dodds each contain a small world, or at least a backdoor to slip out of the one you're in. For best results, flip around the book and seize on a line, think about it or dismiss it, then start flipping and try again. It's the third in a series of books containing the aphorisms in Forget This Good Thing, an attempt - by turns playful and deadly serious - to harness a fundamental force of the universe to turn the world's 6.6 billion smartphones into real-time oracles. Thyis edition includes original essays about how it works, why it works, and why you - yes you - may so desperately need it. An oracle is a very ancient thing.

It interferes with the imprisoning tendencies of all minds global and personal. We know you need it because we need it too. A previous book in the series was named a finalist for the 2022 Big Other Book Award in for nonfiction!
