We’re printing the Internet. Remarkable essays are published online every day, but they’re only getting harder to find. This is a first attempt to find the signal in the slop: a hardcore judging process, 13 essays that capture our times, all in a pocket-sized paperback.

100% of royalties go to the writers, judges, and the 2026 prize pool.

Featured writers: Tommy Dixon, Matt Švarcs Richardson, Lily, James Taylor Foreman, Alissa Mears, Kylan Emms, Noelle Perdue, Max Nussenbaum, Catherine Melo, Simon Sarris, Garrett Kincaid. Judges: Henrik Karlsson, Charlie Bleecker, Alex Dobrenko`, CansaFis Foote, Elle Griffin, Dylan O'Sullivan, Jasmine Sun, Isabel, and Lellida Marinelli.
