Litany Against Fear I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

It also leans toward information design, because the task of presenting rich, dense information in an accessible way is ultimately the task of any digital product. designinformationsoftwarecollections
