![]() ![]() Adams envisioned an entire universe for his absurdity while Wong plays around in modern America, where we've navel-gazed at absurdity so long, the commentary is hardly unique. However, there are critical, fun-diminishing differences. Both plots involve the end of the world as we know it, and time travel or alternate realities may or may not be involved. The heroes are similar and somehwhat unlikeable the rather boring Arthur Dent and 20-something slacker, David, a video store clerk. ![]() Yes, like the book blurb says, in some ways it resembles The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy-it's that strange blend of humor that occurs partially because of stacking two incongruencies in a slice of bread and calling it a sandwich. Put this book down and go read Wong's work at, particularly his piece "6 Things Rich People Need to Stop Saying," a brilliant piece of humor, psychology and economics.īack to John Dies. ![]()
