If a book was sentient, what would it say?
Maybe a better question to ask: "Why can it think and feel in the first place?" Mensch is an interactive mystery book that explores the purpose of a soul and the vessels one can inhabit. This project subverts expectations of a typical novel by using experimental typography and illustration to form a strangely personal relationship between book and reader.
The book's soul is best captured in the physical form, but if you want to read a digital copy in all its skeuomorphic glory, the PDF is available for download here. Otherwise, I've included photos of the project below if you want a quick overview. Just beware of spoilers.
