Rick and Morty and Philosophy - In the Beginning Was the Squanch

Trade paperback. The philosophical discussions raised by adult cartoon "Rick & Morty" are explored with close attention to the show, considering for example Rick's rejection of God, religion and meaning in favour of the answers present in science and technology.
