Tinfoil Hats: Stories by Mad People in an Insane World is a collection of true stories by neurodivergent people who identify as being Mad, about what its like to live Mad in a world that oppresses them because they think, live, and act differently. The authors come from all over the world, and from all walks of life. Tinfoil Hats is edited by Mad poet, artist, and scholar Phil Smith.

Intensely personal, sometimes funny, sometimes dark, these stories are always illuminating. Theyre vibrantly shameful, horrifyingly scary, and just plain hard. Theyre also joyful, spiritual, and enlivening. They describe in detail what its like to be Made Mad by a psy-complex that stigmatizes, psychiatrizes, and traumatizes. Its unhinged writing, about whirleds unknown and unimagined by most.
