I’ve decided to put together a package that includes a free copy of the Kindle Ebook of Ong’s Hat: COMPLEAT starting tomorrow, March 18, 2025, until the end of the day, Saturday, March 22, 2025.
Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/Ongs-Hat-COMPLEAT-Joseph-Matheny-ebook/dp/B0DRW8J9PJ/
Along with this free Kindle book, I’ve discounted the SendOwl audio-only package found here.

That’s a $14.99 E-book free and a 10% off of the audio bundle.
As I’ve said numerous times, this work is in two parts. The text version is one half, and the audio is the other half—two components of a whole. I’ll include the FAQ video that we did to explain it. Most people get it, but I have encountered a few people who assumed the audio is just an audiobook recitation of the text, and it is not. Each part is a 1/2 of a whole.
Thanks to everyone who has shown support for the work so far. I hope some of you enjoy this little gift. I’m well aware that many people who enjoy my work are young artists just starting out, and I hope this helps with the affordability of COMPLEAT.
Here are some reviews so far.
Reviews
Joseph Matheny’s Ong’s Hat Compleat, a combined text and audio book was excellent, and I loved how he mixed the two mediums.

Incredible story behind one of the internet’s pioneers. The interviews are EXCELLENT! What a great idea to have an audio component! This is important documentation of early internet history. I highly recommend it!

Ong’s Hat Compleat is a monumental document of a ground-breaking, multidisciplinary, intermedial artwork. Oft cited but rarely understood, Ong’s Hat was the last great simulation of the twentieth century and the first fantastical rabbit hole of the twenty-first. Its influence continues to resonate today with all manner of sci-fi, ARG, reality-switching and remote viewing projects walking – consciously or not – in its footsteps. Now, with Ong’s Hat Compleat Joseph Matheny and Sequoyah Kennedy have produced the definitive record, a conversation and archive that takes you on the deepest dive possible into the Mariana Trench of 1990s counterculture, cyberculture, mail-art, living books, chaos magic and beyond. Equal parts podcast, seance and dossier, Ong’s Hat Compleat opens up the world of its subject in a way that enhances, rather than dissolves its mysterious aura. An essential purchase for anyone wanting to take a sidereal step out of this century and its troubled times.
—James Riley, University of Cambridge, author of The Bad Trip and Well Beings.
If you’re feeling stuck on a creative project, spend a few hours with Sequoia and Joe. Incredible things might happen.
