About Matt Benjamin
Matt Benjamin studied the humanities in college and grad school. Because of that, he now owns a lawncare business. But when he’s not mowing lawns (and sometimes when he is), he is crafting tales that force his readers to think deeply. Drawing from his studies of ancient philosophy and the Bible, Matt writes to challenge the assumptions we make about modern life with stories that are true, good, and beautiful. His debut novel “We Are Icarus” explores where our technological society might be heading, and what we can do to prevent the consequences of our current trajectory. Matt also runs a YouTube channel with over 20K subscribers: 60 Second Philosophy.
What Readers Are Saying
From the moment I picked up ‘We Are Icarus’ I was mesmerised. My intention to read a few chapters and then return to the book another day when I had more time to read was futile… as the story quickly became far too gripping to put down.
