Guaranteed, nonstop laughs (and only some sobbing).Emma Allen, humor and cartoon editor for The New YorkerPart catharsis, part diagnosis, this uproarious collection from New Yorker and McSweeneys satirist Eli Grober navigates our modern maelstrom. Nothing in this book will helpbut a few good laughs wont hurt. Probably.Theres a lot going on, all the time. It may feel overwhelming. Dont worry. It will all be over soon. Until then, This Wont Help is here to guide you through the apocalypseoffering 100 modest proposals for how you, too, can bask in the End Times. With sharp, satirical essays, stories, correspondences, and more, humorist Eli Grober stares down a world raging with inaction, while corrupt politicians and the 1 percent maximize the profits of selfdestruction. As if any of this will help!Enjoy ineffective think pieces such as . . .We Can Still Avoid Climate Catastrophe If We Act Before the End of This Sentence Never Mind Too Late How to Walk 10,000 Steps a Day in Your Apartment I Firmly Believe in Your Right to Vote, So Long as Youre Voting for Me How I Saved Enough to Buy a House with My Parents Money Im Being Censored, and You Can Read, Hear, and See Me Talk About It in the News, on the Radio, and on TVEli Grobers biting, Swiftian prose spares no onenot the megalomaniacal billionaire fleeing Earth for a better life on unlivable Mars, not an extremely online family living completely offgrid, not even a fossilfuel lobbyist insisting we all stop using straws. (However, Eli does spare a kind thought for the supremely intelligent readers with the good sense to buy this book.) Maybe, just maybe, descending through the inferno of our environmental, economic, and political landscape will help us find real solutions to the absurdity, hypocrisy, and dysfunction that surround us. But probably not!
