To our alien readers -- To our human readers -- Earth: everything you need to know about this gently-used, pre-owned planet -- Life: a comprehensive guide to things that can be killed -- Man: an introduction to the solar system's original "bad boys" -- The life cycle: we called this living -- Society: how we overcame our basic humanity for the greater good -- Commerce: you didn't have to be crazy to work here ... but it helped -- Religion: we were sure someone was in charge -- Science: discovering nature's majesty, and then fixing it -- Culture: the ultimate expression of our humanity, minus 10% commission -- Final scores -- Why we're not here -- What we left out.
Jon Stewart and the writers of The Daily Show embark on a mission to write a book that sums up the human race: What we looked like; what we accomplished; our achievements in society, government, religion, science and culture. Here is the definitive guide to our species--completely unburdened by objectivity, journalistic integrity, or even accuracy.
