Announcing ‘Chaff’ in 2026

I would like to announce that in Autumn 2026, I will with God’s help be pub­lish­ing a book of essays enti­tled ‘Chaff’ — the first of two works that I am fin­ish­ing after years of neglect and self-doubt.

“Step right up and wit­ness the spec­ta­cle of mod­ern human­i­ty, dis­sect­ed with a scalpel honed on cof­fee­house wit and a mer­ci­less eye for hypocrisy. Adam Bond does not offer com­fort­ing plat­i­tudes or san­i­tized self-help apho­risms; instead, he holds a mir­ror to the rag­ing chaos beneath our social veneers, expos­ing the rot, the fol­ly, and the grotesque tragi­com­e­dy of con­tem­po­rary life. From the very start, Bond sets the tone: there is no grand design here, no com­fort­ing myth of progress, only a raw reck­on­ing with entropy, con­tra­dic­tion, and the irre­deemable absur­di­ty of our condition.

“Through­out the book of 69 unso­licit­ed essays, the author reveals a pro­found and unshak­able clar­i­ty: human­i­ty is absolute­ly, unar­guably fucked. Plan­e­tary chaos, social frac­ture, eco­log­i­cal col­lapse — the whole wretched dra­ma of mod­ern ruin. And yet, para­dox­i­cal­ly, it is in this fucked con­di­tion that life insists on being lived, and in the small, stub­born moments of ten­der­ness and defi­ant hope, that mean­ing is wrest­ed from the wreck­age. This is no self-help man­u­al, no san­i­tized man­i­festo, no shal­low cry for change. It is a sav­age, unspar­ing, deeply humane call to embrace con­tra­dic­tion over con­gruity, to cher­ish the messy com­plex­i­ty of peo­ple over ide­ol­o­gy, to reject facile myths for a hard-won humil­i­ty, and to live in the full glare of our imper­ma­nence and absurdity.”

Below, I have attached the first 15 pages (sans the Table of Con­tents) as a kind of teas­er… there is a com­i­cal­ly absurd super­fluity of front mat­ter in this work and I remain unapologetic.
