Publisher's Synopsis
Michael Sandels's unique, hilarious, novella The End of the Word as We Know It is the epic story of humanity's journey from 1960 through 2020, and how we arrived at where we are now. In a work that took 34 years to write, Sandels inventively explains it all. Who or what is responsible for Earth's problems? This fun, surreal comedy attempts to provide the answer to this question. It is 1960. And as the human race struggles blindly onward, the discovery of a dark, new presence transforms the world and threatens all human life. Because all is not right on Earth. The planet has become mankind's worst nightmare. And in its long history, it had never before faced such a horrific threat. What needs to be done next is revealed in this surprising, twisting tale, presented in such a truly unorthodox fashion, it's a little unlike any book you've read! Existential in nature, Sandels' book tests the boundaries of reality, and the written word. And as the fate of humanity hangs in the balance...who can save us from ourselves? Experience The End of the Word as We Know It! You'll never quite look at things the same way again! A rich, fun, engrossing read!
