Old Dog

Fiction

“Through the eyes of a charismatic canine companion, Mark Seely casts his virtuosic gaze over modern civilization as we know it, leaving virtually no stone unturned. With wit and wisdom, he dismantles the great Western shibboleths, from technology to mental health to symbolic language, and much more besides. Reading this book is like taking the ‘red pill’—you will never be able to see modern industrial society (or dogs, for that matter) in quite the same way again.”
