From two promising young minds comes arguably the most honest collection of writing in years. This anthology contains essays on topics ranging from the modern day political implications of Aristotelian thinking, to the lasting appeal of professional wrestling, to what it means to fall in love in today's culture. Throughout, David Snyder and Chris O'Connell pepper their writing with sharp humor, wisdom beyond their years, and a true sincerity that is all too rare in literature today. Both grandly universal and intimately personal at the same time, these works offer a window into what it's like to grow up in the modern world and what it means to be human: for better or worse.

'They're outside. Even if you write down what I tell you and you get the world to read the book, I don't think they'll be bothered. They're not frightened of the truth. What hope have we got? Chaotic, fast, and furious, Zero is the new play from multi award-winning Theatre Absolute. Written by Chris O'Connell, the play is an explosive and anarchic stare at the ethics of torture, and the curse of censorship. Twenty years from now, in the face of a feast of unabated nihilism, hundreds of camps have been built to torture and gain information at any cost, from those who aim to blow apart the rich pickings of a world that is wealthy beyond its dreams. Alex, a translator at Camp Zero, seeks to tell the world of the brutal regime within the camps, and finds his life is suddenly on the line. Survival is paramount, death may be inevitable, but the truth has to be told. Zero toured with Theatre Absolute in 2008.
