Cedar Rapids, Iowa Dec 3, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - With American Delusions and the Concrete, author Joeb Smith Lobster introduces a radically unconventional work that fuses memoir, satire, psychological rebellion, and philosophical provocation. Written from the perspective of a self-described sentinel of the concretea consciousness operating on what he calls Tier 2 Turquoise awarenessLobsters new book confronts the machinery of American culture with a voice that is fearless, darkly comedic, and piercingly observant.

Within the narrative, he attempts to communicate with government agenciesCIA, G-men, institutional gatekeepersnot as satire but as a metaphysical confrontation, presenting his manuscript as a kind of self-defense dossier against cultural and psychological suppression.
