The Pessimist's Guide to the Future is a cynical and light-hearted journey through the future that awaits us all, guided by the sort of bleary-eyed degenerate you wouldn't want to make eye contact with at the pub, based on research conducted by inhaling diesel fumes with a recurring dream of eating custard in the bath. It contains adult humour consisting of swearing and vulgarity, often arranged into sentences. Have you ever wondered what the future will be like? Neither have most people who've got things to do, but one thing's for sure: it will be a wild and nonsensical place where up is down, left is right, and yogurt comes out of the shower. Never fear, however; The Pessimist's Guide to the Future is your ticket to some sort of fear-induced brain haemorrhage due to its amazing facts about every aspect of the future. Learn about vital future topics for our future survival on this ant-filled space orb we call a planet, such as: - Health and Humanity - Covering topics such as bodily and mental health, sex, marriage, dating and the sweet embrace of death. - Technology - Expounding on the many virtues and pitfalls of the future of technology, such as the next bleeping, irritating gadget. - Professional Life - A journey through the world of engineers, managers, doctors, lawyers and everyone else still pretending to work. - Society - How will important things such as politics, bullying, and moving house look in the future? I don't know, but I wrote it anyway. - The World - Climate change, international relations and war will dominate the headlines of the future, and also this section of the book. - Culture - Our future lives will be shaped by our shared cultural exploits from television to art, and anything slightly pretentious in between.
