Blazing Reader:

I started reading Sean Arthur Joyce's Words from the Dead: Relevant Readings in the Covid Age last year. With the death of my wife, I took a break for a few months and only finished reading it recently. Being a collection of essays, it lends itself well to being put down and picked back up. The deep insights and easy-reading style of the author, however, makes for a book you don't want to stop reading.

Unlike many non-fiction books exposing the COVID hoax, Words from the Dead  compares what has happened over the last three years to themes that have long been depicted in literature, songs and even screenplays. While Joyce cites obvious examples like 1984 and Brave New World, he also references lesser known works, such as Samuel Butler's Erewhon — a 19th century novel depicting self-replicating, intelligent machines.

Sean Arthur Joyce may be one of the most well read persons in the world today — evidenced by the 624 citations he makes throughout the book. He's done all the reading, so you don't have to. Read his collection of essays, and you'll have distilled the wisdom of hundreds of scholars, story tellers and songwriters.

As Joyce writes: "We can be thankful such artists are willing to walk the wild edge of civilizations' shadow — which is our shadow— and shine a light on it for us."

Words from the Dead: Relevant Readings in the Covid Age is available exclusively from the publisher's website.

Stay sane and read deep books,

PS Words from the Dead also includes a chapter comparing the COVID agenda to that of the Borg from Star Trek. Read my previous post about that particular essay here: Did the COVID shot just turn me into a Borg?

PPS Sean Arthur Joyce also wrote a scholarly and thorough review of my novel: Covid-19’s First Great Dystopian Love Story
