For high school and adult students: Anatomy of Thought-Fiction: CHS Report, April 2214 by USC Professor Joanna Demers. It is a philosophical novella and a sequel to my previous book, Drone and Apocalypse. I consider the music of artists like David Bowie, Scott Walker, Kanye West, Actually Huizenga, J Dilla, and The KLF, and ask the question: why do we believe things (of popular music, and of life) that we know are untrue? Anatomy of Thought-Fiction is available here, and you can read more about it here.
