Random Curiosities
Ross Scafidas
What do aliens, dying planets, ancient pyramids, quantum weirdness, gender politics and sandal design have in common?
They all find a place in this wildly entertaining exploration of the questions most of us think about but rarely say out loud.
From the baffling to the brilliant, the hilarious to the haunting, Random Curiosities takes you on a freewheeling ride through the strange chaos of human thought.
Broken down into essay style chapters on random ideas (that the author somehow manages to link!) relating to humanity and the world around us,
this isn’t a book with neat answers. It’s a celebration of the questions themselves.
Get ready to laugh, wince, wonder, and maybe—just maybe—make a little more sense of this absurd thing called life.
