While many books, especially those which dabble in philosophy, take an excessive amount of time to tell the truth our heroic author has chosen to save you some time and write it all in a short and direct format. This critique of contemporary society skims ideas ranging from religion to sex to taxonomy that will thrill, sadden, infuriate, and perhaps even violate your intellect and emotions, or create some odd combination of the same.
