But What If We're Wrong? Thinking About the Present As If It Were the Past by Chuck Klosterman
5.0
I've always enjoyed Chuck's essays and books; his satirical bend vibes with my own, so his comments in this book had me laughing aloud.
It's tough to describe what this book is about once you've read it, or even as you're reading it, but it's right up my alley. Some existentialism (or the like) mixed with nerdy facts and wry commentary.
I feel like I've read it before (I was only able to read two chapters the year it was released), and maybe that's because it feels like a conversation I would indeed have in a bar if someone prompted this question to me, or if it was a fun college course I'd taken back in my Halcyon days.
Anyhoo, highly recommend if you're into humor essayists with a penchant for wordy, nerdy phrases like "an acceptance of abstract fallibility" who delves into philosophical and scientific mind-warping queries.
Lastly, I'll never think of hedgehogs and woodchucks the same again. :-)
