    About this ebook

    The book 'A Lighthearted Social History of the World' is a sizzling social satire of the contemporary human societies, as well as all those now well hidden in both the past and the future. It was written especially for our many serious and discerning readers out there and its aim is - to make them laugh.


    ‘The other day I woke up and looked in the mirror. For a brief moment I think I saw a big ape there, looking at me and laughing... Tell me doctor, is this normal? Am I normal?
    ‘But of course it is Mr. Follis, but of course you are...’
    From a daily group-therapy session held at the psychiatric ward of Jehovah’s Public Hospital in Drongoland, 06.11.2459
