Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Nothing is real (reel). Not your job. Not your relationships. Not even your reflection in the mirror. And yet, here you are, clinging to the idea that something must be true.Bruce Goth, the infamous nihilist philosopher behind The Abyss Has Wi-Fi and contributor to Deanetics, takes you on a…sharp, darkly funny journey into the absurd architecture of reality itself. From the lies you tell yourself before breakfast to the grand fictions holding up civilization, Goth argues that the problem isn't that everything is fake, it's that you haven't learned to enjoy it.Part manifesto, part field guide, and part recruitment pamphlet for those ready to abandon "truth" in favor of good theater, Everything is Fake and That's Fine offers practical tactics for thriving in a fabricated world without pretending otherwise.You'll learn: Why truth is the least interesting thing you can believe in.How to spot the seams in any reality.The art of living like your life is a perfect con.How to lead others into your Fake without losing yourself.Whether you're a hardened cynic or a curious newcomer to the school of Gothilism, this book is your permission slip to stop searching for meaning and start enjoying the show.Everything is fake and that's fine.Coyote Moon Books - Philosophy / Cultural Criticism / Humor "Bruce Goth has written the kind of book you don't read; you survive. It's not a philosophy, it's a demolition of everything you thought mattered, and a blueprint for what to do once you're standing in the rubble."Charles P. Wireman, author of Deanetics "Goth's philosophy offers a refreshing perspective on nihilism and the nature of reality."Max Crenshaw, screenwriter "I thought Bruce Goth was joking. Then I read it. Now I can't unsee the strings holding the world together, or the hands that keep tugging them."Riley Gilmore, comedian & accidental nihilist In Everything is Fake and That's Fine, philosopher-provocateur Bruce Goth dismantles the comfortable illusions you didn't even realize you were living inside. With equal parts dark humor and razor-sharp insight, Goth invites you to pull at the seams of reality, not to destroy it, but to find the strange freedom in knowing it's all stitched together in the first place.This is not a book for believers.It's a book for people who suspect the truth has been rehearsed too many times.It's for anyone who's ever laughed in the middle of a tragedy or felt the rush of liberation in admitting they were wrong about everything.You might hate it.You might quote it for the rest of your life.Either way, you won't leave unchanged.Coyote Moon Books presents this Special Edition with a new Foreword by Charles P. Wireman and an Afterword by Riley Gilmore, celebrating Goth's most unsettling and liberating work to date."The book they don't want you to read."Everything Is Fake, and That's Fine circulates like contraband. Handed off in dim bars, slid under thrift store counter glass, discovered in locked drawers in abandoned office buildings.In these pages, nihilist philosopher Bruce Goth dismantles the illusion of "truth" with a surgeon's precision and a vandal's joy. He tells you why your heroes are just costumes, your memories are rewrites, and your life is a stage set and then dares you to love it anyway.Readers call it "liberating," "dangerous," and "the closest thing to scripture I'll ever read." Governments call it "subversive literature." Goth calls it "just another fake" and smiles.You will not leave this book the same person you were when you opened it. But then again, that person wasn't real (reel) either."A bold medi Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
