I'd write for the zine. I was actually thinking of submitting a piece, waiting for the next time for that "Hey, it's zine time again," thread, and it never came.

I doubt it.

Cat's Cradle and Player Piano are also good starting points. Sirens of Titan is still pretty far out there.

Write a great 4 page short story. Then take out the last half. Or just take out bits and chunks till you have 2 pages of nonsense, I guess.

This reminds me of a story at theonion titled "Study shows tests are biased against students who don't give a shit."

I might read his work if I come across a pirated version, but if you claim to be the voice of our generation without embracing free media, I'm going to call bullshit.

>mfw postmodern cyberpunk
i would never read anything labeled as postmodern cyberpunk. may god have mercy on your soul for doing so. and bringing it up in conversation. i warn you now - if you ever, ever want to get laid, never say "postmodern cyberpunk" in public

Yeah it's a pretty stupid cover. I'm pretty sure this has come up here before.

I've only read The Man in the High Castle but I liked it quite a bit. I'll read more of his work one of these days...

I'll vote for Candide as well. I love everything by Voltaire. His Philosophical Dictionary is fucking essential. I'll also second "The Stranger."

This happens to an inordinate amount of people.

People are stupid everywhere, and they always have been. Read the first line to Descartes' "Discourse on Method." Remember when Socrates said, at a busy marketplace, "Look at all the things I don't want to buy!"

Huxley's preface was great.
Also see Eric Fromm's afterward to 1984

Not gonna lie, I had some fun samefagging as anonymous in here.

Well, you have a stupid opinion, because you are a stupid person. And contrary to what your parents told you (because they didn't want you to feel bad), their are stupid questions, and stupid people ask them.
Also, if you want to practice trolling, go to /adv or /fit
