Author's Comment: Like countless nerdy and reflective teens, I was drawn to satirical takes on metaphysics. Douglas Adams. Kurt Vonnegut’s Sirens of Titan and Cat’s Cradle. And that tone certainly still seeps into my work. I can’t take these things too seriously because it’s all so abstract and ridiculous. Wondering about existence and space and time and all that is also ridiculously fun, so I also can’t discount the appeal.
