Publisher's Synopsis
Follow a day in the life of the world's biggest malcontent, Atmore Smith. If you ever had to deal with abusive stepparents, horrible bosses, stupid religions, and ineptitude, then this book might be just what you need to get you through the night especially if you have some of the attendant self-esteem and addiction issues.
Atmore just might be whom you can identify with especially if you have a penchant for mathematics and science and, maybe an interest in philosophy and comparative religions conflated with its inevitable abuse i.e., God told me to do it. Also, you might discover that you are a lot smarter than you think, and many of the so-called experts are not as smart as you think. -- consider the Monty Hall dilemma. This phenomenon is an example of the regression to the mean hypothesis -- the more you investigate, the lesser the disparity between the experts and the non experts, namely, you. Also, events observed up close are seen differently from events observed from a distance, and let's not forget the ubiquitous law of diminishing returns. Finally, there are analogous situations involving mathematics, probability, electrical engineering, and human behavior. On the negative side, you might discover that revenge isn't always a dish served cold and that may very well contribute to one's downfall. Lastly, you will discover that most people have never met anyone like Atmore, and neither have you.
