Nobody and the Empire of Delicious Poison,
By Vernon Snell
Length5h 45m
About this audiobook
What if poison was never introduced as poison—but as celebration, flavor, freedom, medicine, comfort, and love?
In Nobody and the Empire of Delicious Poison, Nobody investigates how colonial systems of land, labor, trade, and extraction evolved into modern industries capable of studying human desire, engineering repeated consumption, treating the consequences, and blaming the individual.
Joined by Serious, Maya, Miss Gloria, Rafael, Simon, and Hope Comfort, Nobody follows sugar, alcohol, tobacco, processed food, medicine, advertising, and addiction through plantations, laboratories, supermarkets, hospitals, schools, churches, courtrooms, and corporate boardrooms.
Satirical, philosophical, historically conscious, and deeply human, this Poetic Cinema investigation asks one powerful question: If institutions know enough to manufacture desire, why do they suddenly know nothing when the human body becomes sick?
