In the present world of expectations and disappointment, hidden threats and clear danger, there are many ways to die, not the least of which is consciously—choosing death over life or surrendering in full consciousness and potential. You, however are Not Dead. You are among the survivors, a quick study, awake and sturdy, an able individual who knows when to follow and when to fall behind. Neither solider nor stranger to structured living, you play the game well, even if it disgusts you—trusting to be trusted, serving to be served, obeying to command to one day transcend, neither master nor slave, even to yourself.

Deceptive times demand devious critiques. You Are Not Dead was born out of fraughtful observations of the state of our States and the repetitive, empty monotony of consumer culture and electronic music. The entire package is a protest against the meaningless decisions we are asked to make daily — between products, between paychecks, between political candidates — that conflate choice with free thought and individuality. You Are Not Dead apes the voice of authority, presenting absurd advice on how to live — or, more accurately, how to remain Not Dead. Which you must be.
You Are Not Dead: A Guide To Modern Living is a project of the Fakeproject Corporation of America and a product of postmortem life. The music and images were conceived and produced by Daniel James Reetz, and the words fell out of Meg Holle.
