Imagine a book written in a language that no one can read, understand or even make any sense of this book is what I consider the greatest book ever written: Codex Seraphinianus

For those of who you have never laid eyes on this masterpiece, I'm glad to bring it to your attention. It was written over a period of nearly 3 years by an Italian chap named, Luigi Serafini back in the mid 1970's. The illustrations are next level, he manages to create one of the most interesting landscapes of re-imaging what could be an alternate evolution coupled with excellent social commentaries along the way.

The hand-drawn images are both thought-provoking and surreal, and at times often haunting. So here in my opinion is the best of the bunch. If you are not fascinated by this, I'm not sure what would get your gears going!!! Enjoy!!
