In this self-reflexive tapestry accompanying a few nomadic years, the author struggles with such underlying issues as being with the crowd and yet not of the crowd, misaligned expectations, letting go of the unrecoverable, finding contentment in the particles of our existence, dealing with the complexity of modern pressures to connect and consume, simplifying the tools at our disposal (with a tendency towards the digitally-light and the open-source), mitigating sources of energy vis-a-vis sources of distraction, waging the never-ceasing inner battle to maintain healthier rapport with the more traditional aspects of our humanity while caught in a strife of paradoxes and counter-behaviors.

These and related issues the author explores through a combination of essays self-critiquing and outwardly, appealing to a largely casual demeanor beyond an infrequent scientific abstraction, ancient parallel or allegory and undeniably, an occasional involuntary outburst, engaging the reader in a sort of open ended interaction and leaving plenty semi-ambiguous for posterior insight.
