Homo Ridiculous: Because people are just animals with Wi-Fi - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Humans are the most brilliant, destructive, loving, self-sabotaging, and laughably illogical species on the planet. Homo Ridiculous is the definitive field guide to understanding them.

From the glow of the smartphone altar to the daily rituals of status, self-deception, myth-making, and performance, Benjamin Frazier peels back the layers of modern humanity with savage wit and startling insight. Why do we argue about strangers online as if our lives depend on it? Why do we trust stories over facts, worship brands like gods, and build empires out of pure imagination? Why are we capable of sending probes beyond the solar system but still fall for get-rich-quick schemes and conspiracy theories about lizard people?

With humor as sharp as its observations, Homo Ridiculous explores the strange contradictions that define our species. Our need for belonging, our addiction to meaning, our obsession with redemption, and our never-ending quest to be noticed all reveal the patterns behind the chaos. Part anthropology, part satire, and part cultural mirror, this is not a self-help book. It is a self-awareness book, a brutally honest, laugh-out-loud tour through the glorious mess of being human.

Whether you are a philosopher, a skeptic, a social media addict, or simply someone trying to make sense of the chaos, Homo Ridiculous will make you laugh, squirm, and see yourself more clearly. The truth is hilarious, and the joke is on all of us.
