Description: 42 Reasons to Hate the Universe by Chris Ferrie, Wade David Fairclough, Byrne LaGinestra Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description From bestselling author Chris Ferrie comes an out of this world pop science space book on how the universe is, indeed, trying to kill us all.If youve always suspected the universe was out to get you... you were right!Yes, the universe we live in is cosmically beautiful and mysterious and all that crap. But its also a bit of an asshole. After all, remember that you are just a group of atoms structured in a specific way for barely long enough to try to understand this thing we call existence. Those atoms could just have easily been used to make the dog shit youre cleaning off your shoe or the mold that grows on your bread! The fact is, when you zoom out to look at the universe and how it functions, youll see that its usually not in our favor, and many of the laws of physics are actively working against our survival.In this book, youll discover why-Youre an aging mutantInvisible rays are melting our genetic codeThe Earth is covered in explosive pimplesLiterally everything is poisonousAnd more true and terrifying scientific facts!But dont worry! While its true that there are (at least) forty-two grudges to hold against the universe, the good news is that there is also one very good reason to forgive them all and embrace the wild, improbable fact that we are alive (for now) and we should take advantage of it while we can. 42 Reasons to Hate the Universe (And One Reason Not To) is a hilarious, no-holds-barred exploration of all the reasons we shouldnt exist-but somehow do anyway. Rooted in scientific research but written simply so that evolved apes such as ourselves can understand where the heck we came from and where were likely going, this book is for all the nerds and nihilists who know theyre going down in the end but want to enjoy the rollercoaster ride of existence on the way.
