My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Carlin attempts to be the personification of entropy. He examines everything that he can think of and attempts to present a thorn in its operation. It’s as if he’s written down exactly what he would say to a live audience. It’s a bit repetitive in places when you compare it to his first book, with little room for improvement. It’s like you’ve already seen him live and want a reminder, but it feels a bit cheaper when it’s done in a book. Carlin has put too much thought in some areas as he’s taken them literally. There’s big focus on news stories in the name of progress, though you also have to question whether his facts are correct and whether you’re bothered by them. He’s that desperate that he isn’t able to save his biggest laugh for last. In some ways, he’s right as we question the convenience of things that we buy rather than procure them for ourselves.
