Today we’re proud to publish an unusual review of an unusual book. Nick Sousanis’s Unflattening is an essay in comic book form, exploring the frontiers of knowledge and perception, words and images.

Matt Finch responds by challenging convention and inviting us to take active steps in constructing a response to Nick’s book.

You look down.
