The Mostly Harmless and Useless Guide to Nothing Very Useful, (Paperback)

<b><b>THE MOSTLY HARMLESS AND USELESS GUIDE TO NOTHING VERY USEFUL</b></b><br><i><i>By Tom Ball</i></i><br>Barnaby was a man of simple pleasures, namely collecting bread-bag tags and being professionally average. His life's greatest crisis was the day he was replaced by a velvet rope. That is, until he accidentally boarded a galactic garbage scow while looking for the Number 42 bus.<br>Now, Barnaby is the only thing standing between the universe and total linguistic collapse. Drafted as a "Neutral Arbiter" in a 300-year civil war fought entirely over the placement of an apostrophe, he must navigate a galaxy filled with: <ul><li><b><b>Pedantic Generals</b></b> who weaponize grammar.</li><li><b><b>Existential Dread People </b></b>who just want you to admit life is a bit of a bore.</li><li><b><b>A Sentient Toaster</b></b> with a Ph.D. in browning levels and a very bad attitude.</li></ul>From the soggy streets of Earth to the <b><b>Cosmic Kitchen</b></b> at the edge of reality, Barnaby is on a quest to press the Universe's Reset Button. The only problem? The reboot takes ten billion years, and he's fairly certain he left the kettle on back home.<br><b><b>A 20-chapter epic about the beauty of being completely, utterly, and unapologetically useless</b></b>
