Ian F. Svenonius - Contra a Palavra Escrita

Against the Written Word: Towards Universal Illiteracy is the most important and revolutionary book produced since the advent of printing. It is a book that will liberate readers from reading, writers from writing, and booksellers from selling their despicable items.

This book will bring about a new era that will free you from having to read and think in the Enlightenment and from the mass alienation forged by the alphabet. Against the Written Word will be a tremendous bestseller and simultaneously the last book anyone will read.

His 19 essays tear apart the bogeymen that haunt humanity today. Against the Written Word is essential reading for any aspiring Radical or self-proclaimed Gnostic with an inclination towards words, thought, fashion, drugs, music, art, etc... This is because it's presented in a comprehensive writing style: essays, a play, a lecture, a science fiction story, and manifestos, with themes such as "Towards a Christian Pornography," "The Urgent Need to Reform the Clouds," or a workshop on brainwashing and musical composition, and much, much more...

This neat and illustrated book will correct the lack of thought that characterizes the offerings in modern bookstores and will practically sell itself. It will leave the shelves in a state of grace for the unsuspecting bookworm who seeks novelties every day, who will become so engrossed that he will consume it with an animalistic hunger. Infected by a savage evangelism, the reader will promote it within his social circle of friends. These new readers will do the same, and soon this slim, almost innocuous volume will dictate an era and its thinking.

The bookseller will be surprised and pleased to have finally found the only book worth keeping in stock. Against the written word, it will dominate the book market in a way not seen since the Bible took over the bestseller lists of the medieval era or when Mao's Little Red Book thrilled critics of Communist China.
