This is a small stack about exile, power, morality and systems. It ain't 101, but it ain't going to make you painful at the dinner party either.

Camus sits with the outsider.
Eco tests the idea of moral seriousness without grandstanding.
Huxley imagines a world where happiness replaces freedom.
Foucault removes the mask and shows how discipline works even when no one appears to be in charge.

A place to begin, if what you’re after isn’t certainty, but a bit of friction.
