In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks
by Carolla, Adam
Adam Carolla is not interested in sugarcoating the decline of common sense or the strange direction of modern manners. In this collection of essays, he plays the role of the frustrated observer, cataloging the daily annoyances that make him wonder if society has completely lost its way. The book functions like a long, unfiltered podcast rant set to paper, moving quickly from gripes about parenting trends to his general confusion regarding how adults interact in the twenty-first century. It is fast-paced, abrasive, and often laugh-out-loud funny if you share his specific brand of cynicism. This is for the reader who enjoys a comedian who isn't afraid to be labeled a curmudgeon. If you prefer your social commentary served straight up, without any concern for being polite or politically correct, you will feel right at home here.
