Total Armageddon: A Slanted Reader on Design

Regular price $38.00

A book about design. And culture. And complexity, notably how we, as a global civilization, deal with science fiction, taste, social media, the cities we live in, aesthetics, PowerPoint, burkas, Big Tech, full-contact sports, and other thorny topics. A collection of both essays that are brand new, as well as the very best essays from past issues of Slanted Magazine, written by the most vital and vibrant global voices in writing on design and culture today such as Steven Heller, Piotr Rypson, Gerry Leonidas, Yoon Soo Lee, Kiyonori Muroga, and a host of others.

Celebrating fifteen years of independent publishing and bringing together a brilliant slate of authors and essayists from thirty-two issues of Slanted Magazine, the book includes essays on design and culture from Europe, Asia, Africa, the Americas, and the Middle East.

Many early issues are out of print and highly collectible, making this collection truly useful for those who are interested in graphic design, design history, design writing, and graphic design criticism.

With essays by Can Altay, Eran Bacharach, Simon Baker, Emanuel Barbosa, Laure Boer, Gerda Breuer, Dr. Nadine Chahine, Doug Clouse, Olga Drenda, Jori Erdman, Marcus Farr, Kenneth FitzGerald, Charlotte von Fritschen, Amélie Gastaut, Martin Giesen, Jonathan M.
