This illustrated collection of humorous essays and fun extras makes the case for one of our most iconic celebrities, fromBill and TedtoJohn Wick.

Critics have long debated Keanu Reeves's career, but one thing is for certain- over the course of thirty years, the seemingly immortal actor has constantly subverted Hollywood stereotypes and expectations of A-listers, without (always) sacrificing commercial success. He's the type to start his own publishing company, quote Hamlet, give away his salary to film crews, and generate memes through the simple act of eating lunch. Along the way, he has transcended the ironic gaze of the internet to become the true object of its affection, prompting a cultural phenomenon known as the Keanussance.

Composed of five critical essays and fun extras, For Your Consideration- Keanu Reeves looks at the distinct phases of the legendary actor's career, from Bill and Ted to the John Wick franchise, and examines the ways in which Keanu strives to be excellent and kind in work and life.
