About this listen
Hipster aliens! Existentially aware smart toilets! Instant genital swapping! The future will be all of these things and so much more in Conan/Daily Show writer Rob Kutner's collection of "quick hits" on what could be but probably shouldn't.
Includes never-before-seen primary source documents like:
- The official memo of the triumphant Jewish/gay/lizard-people conspiracy
- The diary of a time-travelling garbage man
- The unearthed prophecies of the great Seusstrodamus
If you listen to this book, you are guaranteed to start traveling into the future.

This is a collection of short pieces on possible futures that I unfortunately found ranged in quality from extremely mildly amusing to painfully cringeworthy. The most appropriate descriptor of these micro fictions is wacky said with one's whole chest with no positive qualifications.
One of the possible futures is transphobic in its bioessentialism around genitals, which I don't think was the intention. However, it does smack of a cishet guy being silly about sex and gender with all the tact one might expect.
I truly don't understand this coming from a successful and respected comedy writer. I also have no idea how so many fantastic performers were convinced to narrate the audiobook. Unfortunately, the dulcet tones of Night Vale's own Cecil Baldwin and intense ranting of the Bitter Buddha were enough to bring this to life.
I feel like I'm being really mean, but it feels like so very little thought or care were put into this. I'm genuinely not knocking this as a creative exercise and think things like this can be great, but that doesn't mean they should be published. I am certain of anyone without the history in the business, and connections Kutner has made any attempt to publish this they would be laughed out of the publisher's office.
I'm glad it was free on Audible and I hope all the narrators got paid.
Not Even Cecil Baldwin Could Save This
