The Apocalyptic Anagram book addresses the fear of impending environmental ruin. It uses the therapeutic process of anagramming to neutralize menacing concepts like climate change, overpopulation and glacial retreat. These concepts morph into entirely more benign ones, like knitting, frat parties and the Buddha.


An anagram is a type of word play, the result of rearranging the letters of a word or phrase to produce a new word or phrase, using all the original letters exactly once.
