The first Manifesto of Surrealism was a rejection of the logical and the rational, and a call to explore the untainted functioning of the mind. The results of its study led to many of the 20th century's great artworks, and founded a movement that permeates every aspect of contemporary art. 21st Century Surrealism attempts to update the principles of the art of the unconscious. This book is a treatise in aesthetics, viewed through the lens of history. It is an examination of the meaning and purpose of art, and why the art of the unconscious remains the most vital spark in creativity.

The stories in The Intangible Man are a little like those of Jorge Luis Borges—little gnomic parables that leave us questing for their inner meaning. Unlike true science fiction, Sheeky’s stories never dwell on their technical or scientific contents but rather focus on some psychological, philosophical or moral theme in the manner of Ray Bradbury or Robert Sheckley. However, the surreal juxtapositions and conceptual tangents that define his writing transcend the limitations of genre fiction, frequently achieving that singular vision which defines the highest literature.
