TRILLION DOLLAR RAGE

In the book of rhymes, TRILLION DOLLAR RAGE, Christoph Hargreaves-Allen lyrically defies the culture of fear and inhibition triggered by the shock of 2020. RAGE is his repudiation of foreboding as a lifestyle and alarmism as a control play. It's a flamboyant rejection of submission to power as the default response to risk.

The author shares the subliminal trauma of populations encaged by metadata inside a tyranny of cyber-surveillance enhanced by infomania. RAGE is his riposte to the matrix. By contrast, this is a call of the wild - an appeal to our own animal spirits to evade the automation of thought itself.

Freestyle as a weapon trained upon digital platitudes. Provocation by verbal gunplay. Satire whose targets include the author himself, baring his subconscious as it runs amok. It's brave. It's a theatre of the mind on full display.
Inspired by graffiti writers and countless hip-hop artists, by hypertext and jazz improvisers, RAGE twists the art-form of verse into an expression of rebellion as virtue. It extols individual agency and runs flip from start to end.
"Wrong way down a one-way. My bad. I thought it was a runway -"

- as he says.
