COCK: Mind Your Mind is a darkly funny and unsettling exploration of modern existence. Blending absurdist dialogue, short essays, prose poems, and surreal narratives, the book interrogates how we think, cope, perform, and unravel in a world saturated with noise, power, and contradiction.
Structured in four movements-The Noise and the Hustle, The Masks We Wear, The Unraveling, and What Remains-the book traces the inner life of contemporary anxiety: work, money, desire, morality, faith, love, boredom, and the quiet desperation beneath everyday routines. Conversations slide into monologues, satire collapses into horror, and moments of clarity are undercut by doubt, humor, and self-awareness.
Influenced by existentialism and absurdism, yet grounded in distinctly modern settings-offices, call centers, airports, markets, apartments-it captures the strange violence, comedy, and tenderness of being conscious right now.
This is a book for readers who feel overstimulated, skeptical, curious, and uncomfortable with easy answers. COCK: Mind Your Mind doesn't promise peace-but it offers recognition, irreverence, and the rare comfort of seeing the chaos named.
