A new and emerging author/entrepreneur/artist Egan Click.
Unique perspectives on futurism, technology, the self, and art.
A Packaged deal.  You not only get a tangible book but it also in e-book form.  And three other books published by Static Particles.  Also a folder full of artwork made by Egan, music that he has made throughout the years.  Finally you get a movie that he starred in that he edited and made the score.  You also get the score!

Author Tour:   If you are looking for any events that Egan Click would be proud to attend, he currently resides in Chicago and is about to move to Crystal Lake.  He is open for readings, conversations and interviews and whatever you need.

Promotion and Publicity:   Has been featured in three zines by Macklin Brundage titled "Kill yr. Parent's Garden."  Also featured on Static Particles blog at staticparticles.blogspot.com.  Featured in a Columbia College exhibit "1:1000 Words and Images."

Description:    It all started when he moved out to Chicago on his own to attend his final year at Columbia College.  What comes forth is griping poetry that explores what our lives have escaped from, where we are heading with our lifestyles and also the differences between identity and personality and the disconnect between the two.  He has a few philosophical essays where he looks at what it means to be an artist and what art means to the world as an experience and as education.  On top of that he does a "State of Education" where he looks at our formal, organized, society and asks if this is what our educational system should be mirroring.  So poignant, so informal, and so young. 

Contributor Information:   Egan is just about to graduate from Columbia College with a bachelors in Fiction Writing.  He has been writing since he was 16 and has released three other ebooks.  He not only writes but he makes experimental noise funk and paints neo surreal art.

Market:  This is rated PG-13 with literary violence, talks of sex, and slight drug references.  I am aiming for people that like to read and like artists that are prolific.  I think people that like mixed mediums such as poetic prose and narrative poetry. Thoughts are important and perception of being.  I would say if a person is looking for a novel to entertain them, I would steer clear from this book.  Unless you like cool, rare, unique things.  This is the Bukowski of technology.
