Why read it?
1 author picked Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
If all my picks so far have been a bit highbrow for you, let’s go in a new direction. Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits is the work of Jason Pargin (a.k.a. David Wong), former executive editor of Cracked.com, and that should tell you most of what you need to know about his writing. Sometimes clever and insightful, sometimes crass, dumb, and offensive, this book will please anyone who enjoyed Cracked during its heyday, but prefers science fiction to listicles.
From Will's list on science fiction for people who enjoy comedy.
