The Brown Book comprises a growing collection of original drawings and poetry that investigate anthropocentrism and ecological thinking. The work queries mythological pasts, cultural evolutions, and the techno-scientific present, tracing a pervasive tendency to identify with the heavens above in rejection of our earthly existence. Be it gods over mortals, spirituality over corporeality, mind over body, rationality over intuition, human over animal, or digital over analogue, the book addresses western civilization's attempt to achieve, what Timothy Morton calls, “escape velocity from our physical and biological being?” By troubling these dreams of ascension and transcendence, The Brown Book aims to denaturalize enduring prejudices that permit planetary abuse while fostering an ecological awareness that attends to the needs of all life.

Join Narendra and friends to celebrate the release with cocktails, refreshments, music, and a reading from the book. The Brown Book is available exclusively as an online subscription. Members receive a hand-bound edition of the book, seasonal shipments of new compositions, and a space to dialogue with a community of ecologically concerned creatives, thinkers, and citizens.
