Welcome to the glorious downfall of human civilization, narrated with sarcasm, wit, and just enough historical accuracy to hurt.
Life's Little Ironies: A Cynic's Guide To Technology is your guide through the tangled mess we call progress. From stone tools to smartphones, fire to AI, and wheels to robots that judge your sleep habits, this book dissects humanity's obsession with technology through the only lens that makes sense anymore: absolute, unapologetic cynicism.
Each chapter serves up a brutally honest (and hysterically bitter) breakdown of how our greatest innovations often made life worse, weirder, or just more notification-heavy. Oh, and just so you know, you're not the user anymore, you're the product.
Whether you're a lapsed optimist, a full-time doomscroller, or just someone whose fridge now asks for software updates, this book is for you. It's not here to inspire. It's here to roast.
And if you laugh while crying? That's called enlightenment.
