PILLED is at once a speculative (currently in development) anthology and self publishing initiative dissecting memes as cultural objects, illustrating and clarifying the process by which various artifacts of internet culture gain power in the collective subconscious and, in turn, “real” life, and analyzing the real world consequences of said process.
Book 2 of 6, The Shychael Effect, is complete.
A PDF copy The Shychael Effect is available for download here.
IN PROGRESS:
Book 1: Viral Design
Analyzing design characteristics of memes, with specific respect paid to their hyperutilitarian quality, and their recurrence in the digital age.
Book 3: Pill Genealogy
Delving into the redpill movement and the process by which harmful content might be abstracted outward into “meaninglessness” and subsumed into a wider culture.
Book 4: Posting As Portraiture
Breaking down wojaks as signifiers of emotion, identity, and provocation, and chronicling a hidden digital culture war through the use.
Book 5: Looksmaxxing: A Primer
An attempt to clearly define and standardize the incel practice of looksmaxxing, along with analyzing its rise in popularity as a pseudo-ironic trend among younger audiences.
Book 6: Culture Slide Using the takeaways from the previous books, stepping back and taking a wider look at culture today in relation to the internet and the ever-shifting Overton Window.
Each publication will be distributed in print (paid) and online (free).
