Poe's pendulum swings

Madison's sands descend

I brush my teeth.

I wash my hands.

Teller's child ticks

Turing's children scheme

I floss daily.

My gums bleed.

The Age of Something Other Than Reason is a bold poetry collection that confronts the absurdity of modern American life. Anthony Andricks explores a culture shaped by social media, misinformation, ideological extremism, surveillance technology, and algorithm-driven outrage-where identity becomes currency and thinking is outsourced to the feed. These poems operate like diagnostics: language is weaponized, belief systems are optimized for engagement, and morality is performance rather than practice. Throughout the book, journal entries from a once-human artificial intelligence reflect on America's collapse into factional thinking, documenting the moment when farce and delusion overtook sanity and logic. This is contemporary poetry for readers interested in cultural criticism, dystopian literature, political satire, and experimental writing. The Age of Something Other Than Reason is intentionally unsettling, uninterested in balance, and hostile to complacency. It refuses easy catharsis and instead documents the systems-technological, political, religious, and psychological-that reward loyalty over reflection. Paired with immersive, abstractive artwork by Cory Andricks, the author's brother, the book provides a unified experience that reflects how meaning is shaped-and distorted-by modern systems.
