The Book of Odd: Awakening is a book of questions more than conclusions—an exploration of time, DNA, consciousness, and the strange nature of the present moment we call Right Now.

Along the way, the book touches on ideas such as presentism, cosmopsychism, memory, evolution, and the possibility that consciousness is not merely inside the universe, but part of how the universe experiences itself.

In The New Sociology of Science, Boris Kriger delivers a direct challenge to the institutional foundations of modern science. The book argues that truth alone has never been enough — and is not even decisive. What determines whether an idea becomes science is not its correctness, but its ability to pass through fragile, often distorted social channels of persistence. Reinterpreting Auguste Comte, Kriger overturns the classical view: sociology is not the highest science — it is the hidden condition without which no science exists at all. From this follows a disturbing conclusion.

The Brittle Self is a history of one of the oldest fears a mind can hold: that the self is fragile, that it can be seen through, broken, switched off, or shown to be unreal. Across six hundred years the fear holds steady while its costume keeps changing, and the book follows that single dread from a medieval palace to a present-day clinic. It begins in 1393, when Charles the Sixth of France forbade his court to touch him, certain his body had turned to glass and would shatter at a careless hand.
