Philippe had told me he was preparing a new book on his ideas. He thought he had probably gone overboard on the first one playing with type and layout, and that was distracting. He wanted to write a book "more accessible to politicians." (good luck with that
) On the first one he also uses the analogy of the fog. As a spintop collector it has the extra interest of usig a spintop theme that may be missing in the last one.
This is what I wrote on ta0.com's
Papyrus page:
"A very personal proposal for a utopia (u-toupie?) by a wonderful spintop-turning artist. He proposes transforming the pursuit of power over others into power over oneself. "La recherche de l'équilibre passe par un révolution sur soi-même." Life without a passion is like a top not turning. Society should be based on art (defined in a very broad sense) made with passion ("vie-toupie"), not for money. Many spintop references and even pictures."
