Opening with a description of an 11-hour trip on a highly obscure psychedelic research chemical and passing through esoteric alchemy, anarcho-homicidalism, cyberpunk, evolutionary psychology, Aleister Crowley and the symbiotic relationship between humans and cats, this book contains some of the best short-form literary entertainment published in New Zealand during 2017.

Comprised of the 64 most popular essays or articles published on http://www.vjmpublishing.nz during the year of 2017, this book asks the hard questions that the mainstream media is too gutless to.

Should we lower women’s pensions to make up for the fact that they live longer than men? Could Amelia Kerr play for the Black Caps? How cyberpunk did the world become? Is it time to ban male infant genital mutilation? Should we automatically grant refugee status to white South Africans?

And is New Zealand the worst country on Earth?
