by The Anti-Cult Organization

Pop culture didn’t entertain us. It formatted us.

The Book of Cults: Volume 1 – Pop Culture Poison is the first release in a nonfiction series for readers who’ve outgrown inspiration culture and want language for what went wrong.

This volume dissects how entertainment systems—from sitcoms to influencer therapy—trained a generation to laugh through dysfunction, filter their grief, and confuse performance with connection.

 

Structured in two sides, like a mixtape, this 100-page book outlines 20 modern “cults” of pop culture. Each chapter is short, focused, and designed to name the scripts you didn’t realize were running.

Includes chapters on:

  • The Cult of the Sitcom

  • The Cult of the Rom-Com

  • The Cult of Wellness

  • The Influencer Cult

  • The Cult of Reality TV

  • The Algorithmic Self

  • The Cult of Positivity
    …and more

No solutions. Just recognition.

For stockists and wholesale buyers:

This title is part of The Book of Cults trilogy, created for independent bookstores, boutiques, libraries and cultural retailers. It pairs well with satirical nonfiction, social criticism, and books that challenge standard narratives around wellness, media, and self-help.
