Men who have searched for meaning with, let's face it, mixed results. Whither the one who can solve it? Cometh the hour, cometh the Richard Ayoade. Finally, Ayoade has set down some of his most enormous thoughts for the benefit of all who dare to read them. Wisdom distilled from a life lived in relentless pursuit of Truth. Afterthoughts goes beyond rumination, past pondering, probing further than ever before, drawing from a deeply private pool of questions: a reservoir so refreshing you may never need to think again.
