In his profound debut essay, Recognition In Modern Media, T.J. Johnson asks, “Why bother to write in the modern age if all publications cater for mainstream applause and higher profits?” When writing holds no credibility in the modern age, what is there to accept under these circumstances and what is to keep us from quitting?
As T.J. Johnson argues, the world of Twenty-First Century Book Media is controlled by the publication masses and is largely contributed to by Profit-Books, so then why bother to write pieces that you know will most likely never see the hands of more than around One-Hundred people? Recognition In Modern Media argues for an acceptance of these facts and to merely write for one’s purposes, writing for we are human, and above all: liberty of man.
T.J. Johnson is the author of a number of philosophical short stories and shorter essays, all of which are self-published. They Include A French Existence and A Cafe Interaction.
