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.

The concept of an omnipotent drug, a substance promising ultimate control and altered realities, challenges us to explore whether such consumption can genuinely bring happiness. Does the pursuit of absolute power through a digital experience lead to fulfillment, or does it merely mask a deeper yearning for connection, purpose, and a recognition of our inherent limitations?

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