“Encapsulated my undergraduate education…for a fraction of the price.”

“Hey kids, look! It’s DerriDada, Holzer on the half-shell, The Little Red Book meets Baudrillard. Andrew Boyd has freeze-dried several decades of po-mo theory and avant-pop into koan-like statements that are fun to ponder, debate, and snicker over. Don’t be caught at the cyber cafe without Life’s Little Deconstruction Book in your laptop bag.”
—Gareth Branwyn, WIRED
