In an age where screens capture everything, books remain portals: slow, deep, stubbornly human.
On Instagram, Green Gage’s opens these portals one by one: readings that illuminate the mind, works that question, unsettle, soothe, or open inner worlds.
The book reviews on @thegreengage_s are not summaries.
They’re fragments of ideas, flashes of intuition, navigation charts for curious readers.
The works shared on the account are not chosen at random.
They directly nourish the Green Gage’s universe:
neuroscience and cognition
philosophy and symbolism
history of ideas
psychedelics, plants, rituals
ecology, imagination, attention
humanities, poetry, mythology
Each book becomes a lens through which to better see the inner world.
These book reviews don’t tell you what to think: they invite you to think with.
They open questions rather than providing answers.
On Instagram, you’ll find:
annotated excerpts
striking lines
symbolic interpretations
links to the YouTube series and the Substack
reflections on how each book shifts something within us
It’s a feed for minds that enjoy being gently rearranged.
Before an idea appears in a YouTube episode or a Substack essay,
it often passes through a book, or ten.
Instagram becomes the logbook:
what I’m reading right now
why this book matters
how it fits into the Green Gage’s research
what threads it opens for future videos
A simple, visual, accessible space to follow the intellectual evolution of the project.
Under each post, conversations emerge:
readers sharing their experiences, recommending other titles, branching into new paths.
It’s a small community of curious, sensitive, attentive minds
people who love the idea that a book can still change the way we see matter and mind.
The series explores consciousness.
Books are its tools, its roots, its ancestors.
Following @thegreengage_s means entering the living library behind each episode:
a library where Blake meets Bergson, McKenna speaks with Zuboff, and poetry crosses paths with neurochemistry.
A place where thought moves freely.

For the readers.
For the seekers.
For the dreamers who know a book can still light up a life.
