The Extreme Self

A graphic-novel guide to the demented present from the authors of the bestselling The Age of EarthquakesIf you're wondering why the inside of your head feels so strange these days, this book has the answers. The Extreme Self is a new kind of graphic novel that shows how you've been morphing into something else. It's about the remaking of your interior world as the exterior world becomes more unfamiliar and uncertain. Basar, Coupland and Obrist's cult prequel, The Age of Earthquakes: A Guide to the Extreme Present, was hailed as "a meditation on the madness of our media" (Dazed) and "an abstract representation of how we feel about our digital world" (Hello!). Like that book, The Extreme Self collapses comedy and calamity at the speed of swipe. Dazzling images are sourced from over 70 of the world's foremost artists, photographers, technologists and musicians, while Daly & Lyon's kinetic design elevates the language of memes into a manifesto. Over 14 timely chapters, The Extreme Self tours through fame and intimacy, post-work and new crowds, identity crisis and eternity. Crazed, hilarious, unsettling, true. No other book today so presciently predicts how the present and the future have become the same thing. The Extreme Self is an accelerated tale for an even more accelerated culture. Welcome to the Age of You.Cultural critic Shumon Basar (born 1974) is the author of Do You Often Confuse Love with Success and with Fame?
