Alexa’s a Spy and Other Things to Be Ticked off About: Humorous Essays on the Hassles of Our Time

POW! Sometimes, don’t you just want to let someone have it? Give them a tongue-lashing they’ll never forget? Alexa’s a Spy and Other Things to Worry About is part comical call to arms and part tongue-in-cheek tirade. It’s a good-natured rant about what brings us down during the day and keeps us up through the night, a collection of humorous essays that laugh in the face of the peace thieves and the joy robbers; from the spammers and scammers to the people trashing our planet and the ones trashing our homes. (Who, us?) Too much stuff, too much noise, too much technology. Not enough patience, not enough kindness, not enough…chocolate?

As a syndicated humor columnist, Dorothy Rosby has been ranting for more than 20 years in publications across the west and Midwest. If her latest book doesn’t change the world, and most likely it won’t, readers may at least go down the tubes together, knowing how really foolish we’re all being.
