Description

Diary: How to Improve the World (You Will Only Make Matters Worse) by John Cage is a unique collection of writings compiled over 16 years. Originally typed on an IBM Selectric and formatted using chance methods, this edition preserves the graphic effects while offering insight into Cage's company and ideas. Cage's work reflects his passion for creating a world free from perpetual warfare, as well as his involvement with influential figures such as Marcel Duchamp and R. Buckminster Fuller. This expanded paperback edition presents Cage's assessment of the times in which he lived, including his often uncanny predictions about the world we live in today. The book's use of chance operations to determine formatting creates a visually striking and musical quality, where language takes on a physical presence. With its great sense of play and purpose, Diary offers a fascinating exploration of everyday life and ideas for feeding the world.
