Idiot Boy has reached a pivotal point. Something is telling him he needs to express the thoughts, ideas and anxieties that are coursing through his brain. For some reason, he is less able to do that in real life than through the written word. He has gained much experience of the world and the challenges it presents. These bite-sized, 'thought poems' describe many of the challenges he faces - social, physical, technological and personal. Life feels hard but there is an optimism that there are better ways that the world could work, if only we opened our eyes to the possibilities. There are deeply felt and philosophical sentiments alongside much lighter musings. He openly admits his own narcissistic and self-obsessive tendencies, together with all the insecurities. In turn, the prevalence of such tendencies in wider society is suggested. Questions are asked - where is the human race going? Why are we beset with such contradictions and hypocrisy? What is for dinner?
