**Producer, editor, and writer behind the highly addictive, informative, and popular YouTube channel _The Nerdwriter_, Evan Puschak presents "a brilliant, wide-ranging essay collection that explores meaning and how we make it with the thoughtfulness and open-hearted generosity that have long been hallmarks of Puschak's writing" (John Green, _New York Times_ bestselling author).**

As YouTube's _The Nerdwriter_, Evan Puschak plays the polymath, posing questions and providing answers across a wide range of fields--from the power of a split diopter shot in _Toy Story 4_ to the political dangers of schadenfreude. Now, he brings that same insatiable curiosity and striking wit to this engaging and unputdownable essay collection.

Perfect for fans of _Trick Mirror_ and the writing of John Hodgman and Chuck Klosterman, _Escape into Meaning_ is "a passionate, perceptive" (Hua Hsu, author of _Stay True_) compendium of fascinating insights into obsession.
