Beta Testing the Ongoing Apocalypse

This groundbreaking collection, originally published in an Eisner-nominated, smaller edition a decade ago, has only proven more prescient and resonant to our contemporary times than ever. For this new edition, Kaczynski created the original stories "Billion Dollar Budget" and "Rediscovery of the Real" and annotations. There's also a new foreword by science fiction writer Christopher Brown (Tropic of Kansas) and an entirely new cover design. Tom Kaczynski's graphic short stories trace a complex space-time trajectory from the smallest corporate cubicle out to farthest fathoms of the multiverse. Occult economics, metaphysical traffic jams, Marxist zombies on Mars, secret architectural societies, designer ghosts from the future, and demographics demons are just a few elements of a new untested future eschatology.

Tom Kaczynski learned to read English by reading American capitalist comics in communist Poland. His comics have appeared in The Drama, Punk Planet and Backwards City Review. He lives in Minneapolis with his girlfriend Nikki and two cats.

Christopher Brown is a writer and finalist for the 2018 Campbell Award for best science fiction novel. He has also appeared in The Baffler and MIT Technology Review.
