Chronosis

Using the comic as a medium-super collider that allows for maximum abstraction, in Chronosis, the artist Keith Tilford, philosopher Reza Negarestani, author of Cyclonopedia and Intelligence and Spirit, and Robin Mackay create a universe staggering in its graphics and exploding... with concepts, where worlds of pop culture, contemporary art, philosophy, science fiction, and theoretical physics collide with one another. A strange entity roams the multiverse, appearing in different forms, inflicting trauma on anyone who encounters it – whether it be Jeremy Charles, an earthly merchant of paranoid cosmic visions, or the interplanetary order of Laskar, intent on expanding its galactic empire at the expense of Earth. This entity is Time itself, and with its birth begins Chronosis. Only the ascetic order of Monazzeins, who exist nowhere and never, have managed to subjugate Time, trying to build bridges between the many disparate tribes and histories of multiple possible worlds. A unique intertwining of comic culture and philosophical thought, this conceptually and visually mind-expanding story will take the reader on a breathtakingly twisted journey through time, space, and thought.
