Kickstarter Prelaunch Campaign
“What a Mind Fuck, and How Wonderful!”

An introduction to a new civic-secular cosmology of the Meaning of Life
By Simon J. Hill

What if the Second Law of Thermodynamics was also the Meaning of Life?

I'm creating a mind-expanding journey through physics, consciousness, and the mythic structure of our lives. This experience (audiobook, coffee table book, and multimedia experience) argues that life exists to dissipate entropy—and that human consciousness is the universe's most sophisticated tool for doing so.

I'm launching a Kickstarter campaign with three incredible ways to experience this revolutionary perspective. Sign up for launch notifications and vote for whether you prefer audio, visual, or immersive video explorations.

Option 1: Audiobook

Experience the introduction chapter from the audiobook:

Introduction: The Thermodynamic Purpose of Life

Unlike viruses that deplete their host systems, humanity's evolutionary superpower is our ability to transcend entropic limitations. Sign up to unlock!

Option 2: Coffee Table Book

A luxurious hardcover art book that brings the concepts to life through stunning visuals:

Chapter 2: Humanity Versus Virus

The coffee table book features over 40 custom illustrations that visualize complex concepts from thermodynamics, consciousness studies, and the mythological hero's journey.

What makes this visual edition special:

  • Museum-quality production with archival paper and premium binding
  • Dual-page spreads that create stunning visual-conceptual experiences
  • Visualization of abstract concepts - entropy, emergence, consciousness hierarchies
  • Integration of science and mythology through parallel visual narratives
  • Limited edition with numbered copies (only 500 will be produced)

Perfect for your coffee table or office - a conversation starter that bridges science, philosophy, and art in a uniquely accessible way.

Option 3: Video Experience

The ultimate multimedia journey through the concepts with custom animations, interviews, and interactive elements:

Chapter 2: Humanity Versus Virus

The video experience includes:

  • Eight fully animated episodes (30 minutes each) exploring the book's core concepts
  • Interviews with leading physicists, philosophers, and consciousness researchers who respond to the book's thesis
  • Custom soundscapes and original score that enhance the emotional journey
  • Interactive elements that allow viewers to explore concepts at their own pace

The perfect way to experience this material if you're a visual learner or want to share these ideas with others in an engaging, accessible format.
