{"product_id":"9781524544836","title":"The Backbone Alphabet","description":"The Backbone Alphabet is a combination of graphics, poetry, philosophy, history, optical illusions, and puzzle games. This work uses:   —the opening poem “Seraph Sans Serif” to set a theme of the history of paradigm shifts in print, religion, and perception of reality;    —the alphabet to show a historical progression of religion and philosophy from the beginning of the written word to postmodernism and the end of print;   —poetry, graphics, and optical illusions in a way that makes philosophical themes fun;    —the alphabet to show a historical progression of fonts and icons;    —a progression of primary colors through black and white to represent the past and present;    —the concluding poem “Mimicry” to imply that we are on the cusp of a new age for print;    —and a separate booklet, Artist’s Code, for those who would like to see how their interpretations compare with the author’s intentions.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47147211325680,"sku":"9781524544836","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781524544836_p0.jpg?v=1763729627","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781524544836","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
