By Laurenz Brunner

Dictionary of the Illegible explores the limits of human language, its beginnings and its ends, where alphabet and expression first take shape and begin to dissolve before our eyes. Mapping over 400 examples of illegibility drawn from diverse fields, from Indigenous cultures to imagined future civilizations, the book spans contemporary art, science fiction, politics, architecture, and technology.
