Lean into It (the madness)

Essential reading for anyone with a keen interest in the end of the world or the various eateries of Shepard’s Bush.

Relentlessly bleak and hilarious, just like real life.

Think of Frankie's amazing monologues from New World Order, but 10 hours of it and it's all a cohesive monstrosity of the inevitable.

Listened from my ditch

Hail Zendeya.

What a ballad of words to keep me company as I wait for the bomb drones. It's a hilarious listen that has HBO level story.

Hilarious and strangely feels like it could happen!!!

Classic frankie energy distilled into a book loved it from start to end. Laughed so hard in some places I may have had a break from reality myself?

Essential prep for an inevitable future

A harrowing yet doubtlessly accurate account of humanity’s destination. Still, you’ve got to laugh, and laugh I did.
