Overview
With seventy-two original drawings of newly proposed constellations and twelve new horoscopes to create a comical new zodiac, humor and social criticism meet to create an entertaining perspective on contemporary life.
"It wasn't all that long ago that the stars were powerful -- the only prime time or late-night viewing available for centuries. We needed to know about the stars, for navigation, and for the stories they seemed to tell about the universe.
"Needless to say, anyone with a GPS device can tell you that the stars are obsolete, of interest to more focused, telescope-equipped stargazers and horoscope readers. So why do we persist in looking at the constellations of the ancients? Must we always see scorpions, lions and bulls when we look at the stars? Is there nothing new in the firmament?"
