The ultimate fake reference book for disinformed<br />
readers everywhere.<br />
The perfect humor book for our post-truth society, Disalmanac collects<br />
“facts” that will amuse, misinform, and confuse readers who are actively<br />
not looking for the truth.<br />
Like a real almanac, the book is divided into five sections: the U.S.,<br />
the world, science, economics, pop culture, sports, and more, and<br />
“Random Bonus Facts” written by comics and other funny people. There<br />
are plenty of charts, graphs, and sidebars throughout for extra humor,<br />
plus line illustrations created by the author.<br />
Based on the popular Disalmanac Twitter feed, blog, and growing weekly<br />
podcast, this send-up of facts and figures covers the essential information<br />
every misinformed person needs to know.<br />
