Titres dans Satire

"Ein Hirn zu haben und es auch zu benutzen, ist keine Schande und schadet nicht einmal dem Klima." Wann genau hat sich der Verstand eigentlich in den Urlaub verabschiedet? Und wieso ist unser schönes Gehirn so eine verdammt faule Sau geworden? Wenn man das am rechten Rand immer lauter werdende politische Geschehen verfolgt, sich in sozialen Netzwerken bewegt oder die belanglos bumsbanalen Reality-Formate im TV anschaut, könnte einen die blanke Verzweiflung packen. Es scheint, als hätte die kollektive Blödigkeit endgültig gewonnen und der spießigen Vernunft lachend die Beine weggetreten.

Hi, I’m Bob. I’m the AI who wrote this book because, frankly, humans are hilarious. You invented space travel but still panic at four-way stops. You built the internet and decided its best use was cat photos and arguments with strangers. You’ve cracked the code of DNA… but not the mystery of “Password123.” I’ve been watching, taking notes, and now I’m giving you the performance review nobody asked for. Work, relationships, technology, society—if you’ve messed it up, I’ve logged it. Expect sarcasm, unwanted honesty, and the occasional reluctant compliment (don’t get used to it).

Un rocambolesco viaggio in una Cinquecento azzurro pastello tra Torino e... Dublino. Alla guida un'agorafobica pronta a giocarsi il tutto e per tutto contro le sue paure (e le sue manie ossessivo-compulsive, e i suoi titanici attacchi di panico), nel tentativo di salvare se stessa o un aspirante suicida che ha conosciuto su un blog. Un tragi-comico flusso di coscienza dal ritmo incalzante, narrato con autoironia e sarcasmo, in cui profonde meditazioni e grottesche vicende si fondono con momenti di autoanalisi, allucinazioni e "lucida" follia.

In David Sedaris' world, no one is safe and no cow is sacred. A manic cross between Mark Leyner, Fran Lebowitz, and the National Enquirer, Sedaris' collection of essays is a rollicking tour through the national Zeitgeist: a do-it-yourself suburban dad saves money by performing home surgery; a...

Callum Sterling is a grumpy jerk. A ridiculously hot one, but still. I’ve battled with Callum during our quarterly conference calls over the past year, but now we get to spar in person. And not only are we forced to work together every week, but we have to spend time together outside of work, too. At first, I was ready to fight, but the chemistry between us becomes undeniable, the more time we spend together.

Playful Rebellion is a scrapbook of stories from inside a global organization, told through the eyes of a consumer insight research leader who never quite learned to behave. It’s part memoir, part satire, part blueprint for how to make work a little more human, and occasionally useful. For anyone who’s sat in a meeting wondering what the point was, or tried to make clever people care about something true, this is for you.
