Some have called this book the greatest novella of the modern era, others have named it the finest example of philosophical thinking in the last fifty years. Scholars have declared it a rare and astounding menippean satire, a seriocomic stroll through the carnival of life. Unfortunately few of these admiring critics were sober; those that were not inebriated were of questionable sanity; and none were willing to be quoted here. This is a new and revolutionary book in which the reader constructs the meaning of what is read, and what the obsequious critics missed is that without their construction there is no meaning at all contained within these pages.

A profoundly funny romp through religion, spirituality, and the contemporary clash of cultures of belief, with special attention to the human obsession with knowing what can't be known. Nosirrah provokes just about everyone as he describes a world where God is on the run from Islamic extremists, the Pope announces he shares a bed with Richard Dawkins, and Buddha's son disappoints by getting enlightened instead of becoming a doctor. To say this novella is strange might give the reader a way to relate to it, but in fact, nothing will shift the burden away from the reader. In its pages, the world is bent around the reader's mind until either the mind itself begins to bend, or indeed, breaks. A book without plot, characters, structure, or obvious purpose, this is an endless descent into the netherworlds of a dystopian mind. If a thousand monkeys typing endlessly would eventually produce all great works of literature, then God Is an Atheist is their first draft.

Anyone who agrees that the hype around the 2012 prophecies needs skewering, and who enjoys penetrating wit served up with a healthy dose of enlightened perspective, will find that 2013 is the essential guide to survival and prosperity when the world ends. Whether that end comes through a meteor impact, a viral pandemic, a changing climate, or simply the wrath of God, N Nosirrah offers a brief escape from the overwhelming terror that can come when facing the end of the world. He explores the end times and world monetary collapse with insights that are undaunted by their self-contradictions, witticism that never lets up, and the promise of multi-level marketing. This is a self-help survival manual cum novella for the reality-challenged, explores the place where profit is made, a place found between our world of fiction and the unseen world of truth, and suggests that it is possible to make a fortune, get enlightened, and laugh uproariously when the world ends. If "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" took you to the edge, 2013 will push you over.
