Ash Thorp's Happiness Pills expand on the theme of happiness explored in the Nascent series. They expose a cynical view of temporary, synthetic happiness derived from societal 'guilty pleasures'. It is an experiment in uncovering genuine euphoria amidst personal journeys.

Guns, both a symbol of power and destruction, raise profound questions about the relationship between violence, security, and personal agency. Does the possession of such weaponry bring true happiness or merely a false sense of control, creating a cycle of fear and aggression?

Ash Thorp challenges the collectors of this work to decide whether to keep their digital vice or exchange it for the tranquility pill.
