Humanity: A Series of Bad Decisions
A Satirical Look at Human Folly
History proves that even the brightest minds can make some truly terrible choices. A war over a pig. A financial crash sparked by tulips. A failed jungle utopia... courtesy of a car company. All kicked off with the same tragic confidence: "Hold my beer. This is gonna be genius."
In this wickedly funny and disturbingly educational romp through humanity's greatest missteps, Lenni Olinsson unearths the spectacular blunders that helped shape the world we live in, one terrible decision at a time. From speculative manias and crumbling empires to scientific faceplants and government vendettas against birds, this is history at its most absurd.
Equal parts history lesson and comedy roast, Humanity: A Series of Bad Decisions is not the sanitized, dusty version of history you slept through in school. These are the stories of ambition gone sideways, brilliant plans that should've stayed on the napkin, and leaders who proved that power and wisdom do not always go hand in hand.
Buckle up. The story of civilization is one long, beautifully ridiculous mistake, and it's never been more fun to read about.
