About Us
An independent publisher with strong opinions about what is actually useful.
52 Pubs publishes philosophical workbooks and satirical writing for readers who want their wisdom with a side of honest absurdity. AI-assisted, human-edited, clearly labelled.
Dry. Not mean.
The humour comes from recognition, not mockery. Every joke lands because the reader has been there.
Specific. Not vague.
"The tab opened three Tuesdays ago" beats "old browser tabs." Concrete detail is what gets screenshotted and shared.
Honest. Not apologetic.
The brand does not pretend to be something it isn't. AI-assisted, clearly labelled, and that transparency is part of the personality.
Witnessed. Not performed.
The work draws from lived experience. If it didn't happen, it doesn't go in.
AI-assisted. Human-edited.
Every title is developed using AI as a writing tool, guided and shaped by a human with strong opinions about what is actually useful.
Proceed with suspicious confidence.
The governing philosophy. Not a motto. A way of moving through the work.
