Nietzsche
The Man Who Saw Too Much
by James Johnson
Dedication
To the ones who felt the abyss blink first —
and laughed anyway.
This one’s for you.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
TO EVERYONE WHO misunderstood Nietzsche —
Thank you for proving him right.
And to the reader still here at the end:
You’re either about to do something reckless,
or something beautiful.
Or both.
