Synopsis

What if the end of the world were postponed because the invading aliens got overbooked?

What if artificial intelligence suddenly began answering every question exactly the way a cat would?

What if Death quietly took a well-earned vacation…and nobody on Earth could die anymore?

What if the Second Coming returned to Earth only to discover that miracles are no substitute for proper paperwork?

And what if the most frightening thing in the Book of Revelation wasn’t the Beast…

…but the Standards and Practices department?

In Tiptoe Through the Zeitgeist, I invite you to join me as we traverse twenty darkly comic worlds where the impossible is treated as perfectly reasonable—and where humanity responds to the extraordinary with committees, forms, permits, regulations, bureaucracy, and just enough optimism to make everything slightly worse.

From talking cats and apocalyptic morning television to immortal mosquitoes, honey badgers demanding better public relations, philosophical poems, reinvented fairy tales, and ordinary people confronting gloriously absurd circumstances, these stories balance satire with warmth, wit with melancholy, and laughter with the occasional uncomfortable truth.

Because sometimes the best way to understand the strange times we’re living through…

…is to make them just a little stranger.
