📘 Letters from prison

by Theodore Keloglu

Society can be prison. In this collection of essays the author reflects on the contemporary enslavement of individuals under the guise of school, the economy, and achievement. Children and young people, interpersonal problems and communities, and start- ups and the industry are the main themes with freedom guiding the final part as well as weaving itself throughout as a recurring motif. Can we realise what freedom is if we lack it? Among the main four parts, three interludes intersperse, each dedicated to the appreciation of a cultural artefact: an old song, a new film, and timeless chocolate.
