God or Nature, Whatever is what happens when a philosophy grad student decides to explain Baruch Spinoza—the 17th-century lens grinder who got canceled by every major religion—using sarcasm, swearing, and a deeply unhealthy relationship with Euclidean geometry.

Sophia Blackwell takes Spinoza's Ethics (a book structured like a math textbook, only less fun) and translates it into plain, hilarious, possibly heretical English. The result? A philosophical roast that actually teaches you something.

Inside, you'll learn:

Why Spinoza thought God was just... everything (yes, including you, your dog, and that one sock you keep losing).

How he managed to be too atheist for the religious and too God-obsessed for the atheists.

Why your free will is fake but your bad decisions are still kind of your fault.

How to find spiritual peace by accepting you're a temporary Mode of an infinite Substance and not special at all (yay!).

And why Einstein loved Spinoza while religious authorities mostly wanted him yeeted into oblivion.

This book is for anyone who's ever read a sentence from a philosopher and thought, “Why are you like this?” It’s also for readers who like their deep metaphysical insights wrapped in existential dread and memes.

Perfect for fans of irreverent nonfiction, people pretending to understand Spinoza, and anyone who’s been excommunicated for asking too many questions
