Captain Tinkerer crash-landed on the way home. His report documents what he saw, and it lives inside Everything at Once by Hammoud. Twenty-six interviews, A to Z, create surprising juxtapositions — philosophical musings collide with casual brutality, earnest beliefs dissolve into self-contradiction.
He had asked humans about their lives. A personal trainer with an apex mindset. A propagandist aiming for plausibility. A child who imagines what he knows. An arms dealer who calls missiles his babies. A chicken farmer who claims eggs have no souls. Others. We know them only from the things they said.
Tinkerer asked the questions no one does because he assumed nothing, and most answers came undone as the characters described their world — art and con-art, consumption, war, meaning, and living together. The report shows meaning shifting as words travel. Loose associations strain the dialogue, which sometimes falls apart — but do the characters notice?
No narrative, just deadpan dialogue that spirals in unexpected directions. What do we sound like when we think — and when we don't? Does it all sound the same? Do you see what madness looks like?

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. What happens when someone asks uncomfortable questions about comfortable lives? Through a series of sometimes darkly comic dialogues, this experimental work exposes the contradictions we've learned not to see. Each conversation begins simply before spiralling into unexpected territory.Written entirely in dialogue, the book presents voices discussing work, consumption, art, violence, and meaning. The questioner's persistent naivety forces speakers to explain what they've never examined, revealing the absurdity beneath ordinary life. Meanings emerge between the lines, in what goes unsaid, and in the moments when language itself breaks down.The alphabetical structure creates surprising juxtapositions-philosophical musings collide with casual brutality, earnest beliefs dissolve into self-contradiction, and comedy emerges from the gap between what people say and what they mean.Readers who might connect with this book: Enjoy philosophical fiction that questions everyday assumptionsAppreciate experimental works written primarily in dialoguePrefer fiction that raises questions over providing answersValue books that reveal new layers with each reading This item is printed on demand.
