A first collection of essays, reflections and political travel writing by thirty three-year-old Punk Planet and Bad Subjects editor Joel Schalit. Moving effortlessly from philosophical complexity to piss-your-pants humour, Schalit's writing, and his ability to critically interrogate everything from the religious right to punk rock, Middle Eastern politics, and European history provides a singular perspective on our life in the post-everything age.
