Books
Here are some books we've written that explore Absurd Learning Simulation Game Theory and offer reality-hacking trickster techniques to transcend BS.
How many books are available?
There are currently two books available, Emag of Efil and Way of the Foole, that are part of the Emag of Efil series.
T.C. Jester is working on a new book, BS-Free Life: a Guide to Hack Reality and Lighten Up, that will hopefully be released in 2022.
What is the Emag of Efil series about?
The Emag of Efil book series is a sci-fi comedy fantasy adventure about a bookworm and a gamer geek who awaken to realize all the world’s a Game and we’re all players.
Armed with a cryptic game manual hidden inside a fantasy book about faeries and trolls, Sofee and Fred must figure out the secret codes while preventing their Ick opponents from seizing the manual and destroying it. Having proven their stellar skills and exceptional foolishness, Fred and Sofee are recruited by a secret society called the Temple of the Cosmic Joke. Our two heroes are trained as special agents and sent on missions to increase game awareness and prevent the Icks from winning their global domination game.
The series follows Sofee and Fred as they experience the Game’s multiple levels and learn more about the Foolish Mysteries. In Book I, Emag of Efil, our heroes awaken and discover they are part of a Mega Game and join the TCJ as undercover spies. In Book II, Way of the Foole, they learn how to play the Game and make complete fooles of themselves to level up.
“About 13 billion years ago, the Cosmic Joke came into existence and established its ridiculous realm. Some call it a practical joke. We call it the Game. We are all part of it. But not everyone is aware of it. That’s part of the Joke. Oh sure, we could go on about ancient secrets and hidden truths and whatnot but we prefer to tell you a story. About a Book. About a Game. One Game to trump them all.”
EMAG OF EFIL
Ever wonder what people mean when they tell you that you need to learn how to play the Game? What is the Game and why is it so important? In Book I, Emag of Efil, Fred and Sofee discover they’re inside a massive conscious character multiple reality game (CCMRG). Armed with a cryptic game manual hidden inside a fantasy book, Sofee and Fred must figure out how to play while preventing the Icks from seizing the manual and destroying it. Along the way, our heroes travel to Australia to find the connection between Killer Kuddlies, HOCs, Global Cyber Games, surfing, Most Excellent Selves, Psychic Internet, Humungo Chess, and the Mega Game. Having proven their stellar skillz and exceptional foolishness, Fred and Sofee are recruited by the Temple of the Cosmic Joke to become secret agents.
WAY OF THE FOOLE
Are you ready to make a complete foole of yourself? Then prepare to level up with Sofee and Fred as they embark on the next adventure in the Emag of Efil series. In order to learn the Way of the Foole, the bookworm and the gamer geek must face a whole new set of challenges involving killer robots, telepathic rats, psycho bosses, zombies, lunatic dictators, X-mime, and the Oldest Trick in the Book. The secrets of the Temple of the Cosmic Joke are about to be revealed but the only way to access the Foolish Mysteries is to fly by the seat of your pants and find the Legendary Barrel of Laughs. Welcome to Book II in the mind-blowing series that will help you find the funny and question everything.
