ABOUT THE BOOK
What came first, the addiction or the prescription?
Author Joe Sweeney’s satirical fiction carefully details the thoughts and beliefs behind his opinions of the world using unique stylistic writing that both surprises and delights. Pairing that shock factor with a dry, dark humor about humanity offers a new perspective on mainstream narratives—a perspective that encourages uncensored discourse on the importance of mental health and just how dangerous hookup culture, violence, and substance abuse are.
Inspired by personal experiences and opinions, his poems, graphics, and socially relevant short stories come together to establish a sharp wit and a humorous yet cutting critique of society that comes with more than a few content warnings.
Sweeney fuses his commentary about current events into a universe that’s similar but slightly different to show our world just how shocking humanity and society can be.
MY MESSAGE
- Don’t drink that alcohol. Alcohol, in this instance, refers to the ubiquitously accepted dystopian party lifestyle. Alcohol. Partying. Sleeping around. They’re saturated in today’s media, and they’re lies. Their intent is to dumb you down. Dumb people are easier to control.
- Don’t drink that Kool-Aid. None of the stories told on the news or the trends on social media happened by accident. Their intent is to invoke emotions. Emotional people are easier to control. Watch what the left hand is doing while the right hand takes your watch.
- As stated in Jeremiah 29:8, The Lord Almighty, the God of Israel says, “I, the Lord, the God of Israel, warn you not to let yourselves be deceived by the prophets who live among you or by any others who claim they can predict the future.”
- Continued in Jeremiah 29:11, the Lord says, “I alone know the plans I have for you, plans to bring you prosperity and not disaster, plans to bring about a future full of hope.”
- Continued in Jeremiah 29:13, the Lord says, “You will seek me, and you will find me because you will seek me with all your heart.”
