A collection of personal essays that looks at films, TV, books, and games from a sideways angle. Joseph Atkinson flips the canvas to spot what hides in plain sight. He pairs each subject with an unexpected idea to surface meaning and feeling.

A tactics game becomes a lesson in make-believe as an adult. A high-school drama turns into a map of our political habits. A cooking dungeon crawl shows how everyday care holds a story together. A Zen teacher rewrites how ideas travel through publishing. Each piece sticks to specific moments, and takes them in an esoteric or personal direction.

The tone stays curious and playful. The tools stay small and useful. You get prompts and simple frames you can try on your next watch or read. The goal is a better time with the media you already like and a fresher way to talk about it with friends, students, or teams. Flipping perspectives in an intimate and absurd way.
