The Remains of Civilisation - Paperback

by Yicheng Liu (Author)

When the worst thing about being hunted down by weird men in black suits happens to be your poor life choices, you know you're in trouble.

In Peter's opinion, the government can do whatever the hell they want, so long as they stay right the hell out of his life. But when a stupid, stupid, stupid government conspiracy forces his best friend Albest to fake his own death and legally change his last name to Door, he suddenly decides... to not give a fuck.

That's right about the moment someone blows up his apartment.

His best friend Albest, three-time award winner for World's Worst Human Being and runner-up for Douchebag-of-the-Year, proceeds to drag him kicking and screaming into a dark, treacherous whirlpool of questions, diarrhea-inducing fast food, and alien conspiracy cover-ups worthy of a 5,000 word Reddit post. Who are the shadowy men in black? Where does the government's spooky-ass, super-advanced technology come from? And why does Albest hate eating food that isn't served out of a plastic container?

As Peter follows his small band of friends up this proverbial mountain of crazy, something just feels too familiar, too simplistic, too clichéd to be true...
