Comics for a Strange World

2017

by Reza Farazmand

Comics for a Strange World takes readers on a journey through time, space, and alternate realities, offering a collection of comics that hilariously skewers our modern age. This book reunites fans with favorite characters and presents even more bizarre scenarios.

Imagine a child arrested for plagiarism, a squirrel adapting to human society with a cell phone—and a gun, and an old man reminiscing about the Internet as a network of millions of idiots creating endless terrible ideas.

In Poorly Drawn Lines, nothing is too bizarre or outlandish to be parodied, making this book a perfect gift for fans of comic books who appreciate a good laugh at the absurdities of our world.

Everybody Lies

Insightful, surprising, and with ground-breaking revelations about our society, Everybody Lies exposes the secrets embedded in our internet searches, with a foreword by bestselling author Steven Pinker. While people often lie to friends, lovers, doctors, pollsters—and to themselves—in Internet searches, they confess their truths, revealing secrets about sexless marriages, mental health problems, and even racist views.

Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, an economist and former Google data scientist, presents what might be the most important dataset ever collected. This unprecedented database of secrets offers astonishing insights into humankind. For example, anxiety does not increase after a terrorist attack, crime levels drop when a violent film is released, and racist searches are no higher in Republican areas than in Democrat ones.

Stephens-Davidowitz reveals information that can be used to change our culture and addresses the questions we're afraid to ask that might be essential to our well-being—both emotional and physical. Everybody Lies is insightful, funny, and always surprising, exposing the biases and secrets deeply embedded within us, at a time when things are harder to predict than ever.
