Shards: Fragments of Mind presents a collection of aphorisms, epigrams, terse journal entries, notes, short vignettes, and pity statements, as well as longer segments, such as unpublished papers, blog posts, and essays meant to enlighten the reader and inspire the ability to think; none of these minutes are meant to be exhaustive, although no linear organization enforces itself on the text comprehensive themes will be discovered through comparable reading. Each entry stands alone and is presented in no particular order. I cover topics as varied as Extra Terrestrials and Christianity, cell phones, and Just War Criteria. The reader may start at any point from beginning to end or randomly, and various and sundry topics will begin to take shape in a comprehensive whole. The numbering system in this book is an attempt to impose some logical order and easy reference on an otherwise fragmented text. However, this is not unlike the way students learn through the online medium when looking up relevant subjects in short informational bursts proceeding in rapid-fire succession. I take as my literary examples the writing of Pascal in Pensées and Nietzsche's Twilight of the Idols. Although I don't pretend to be as sublime as they were, I do use their format as a template for this book.
