What to Do in the Meantime (and why it doesn’t matter)

An author of literary fiction and academic scholarship, Michael Richard Lucas' third book is a delightfully humorous romp through a dystopian apocalypse. A twisted parody of a self-help book, this work is comprised of an unknown narrator's anecdotes and aphorisms that range from existential philosophical musings to non sequitur punchlines: Nietzsche meets The Onion. The book's open-ended thematic anecdotes provide humorous insight into the socio-political/economic follies and the psychological/philosophical dilemmas that haunt the people of our character's space/time.
