I have a reaction, a response to this book, that is colored by so many other things, chief among them my perceptions of how Traylen is on social media. Philosopher first, comedian second, digital citizen third? It’s very interesting.

I haven’t read enough philosophy to fully “get” all the aphorisms and thought-bombs in here. But it is brilliant, and in a way I don’t want it to end.

Hysterically funny in places and philosophically challenging in all places. Traylen is like some kind of prophet. I prefer his books (this is the first I’ve read) to his online waggery.

A long way to go. Traylen is a very funny, very thoughtful writer with a well-read, dense literary style. By “dense,” I mean light and fluffy but when you try to pass through it you will inevitably clunk your noggin on the hard surface.
