Eject Disk: The Series
A series of zines inspired by Eject Disk, the manifesto I wrote for myself and for friends who kept coming to me in pain, asking variations of the same question: what in the actual fuck is going on? Why does everything feel like this? Why am I so exhausted?
The response was immediate and overwhelming. Thousands of people saying they finally felt seen. Not inspired. Not motivated. Just recognized. That's when I knew this needed to go deeper—into why the collapse happened, how to stabilize, and how to reconnect.
There are four books. Each one works alone, but together they build a path: recognition (Eject Disk), understanding why it happened (System Error), stabilizing when you're crashing (Reboot System), and reconnecting without losing yourself (Insert Disk).
You're not broken. You're just awake. And you're not alone in this.
