Sam A. Miller — Still Lost: Tales from the Year 2080

from Politics and Prose Presents · host Politics and Prose

From the beloved creator of the wildly popular Sam O’Nella Academy YouTube channel, an irreverent and timely science fiction collection that offers a wry look at the not-so-distant futureSam A. Miller, the creator behind Sam O'Nella Academy, has spent ten years teaching his 4.8 million subscribers about the past and the present. Here, he turns towards fiction—and the future…A hyper advanced alien race seemingly solves all existential threats—no climate change, no nuclear weapons, no singularity crisis...and yet, in crisis we remain. Because humans are their own existential threat in the not dys- or u-topian, but simply “topian” world of this interconnected collection: In “Four Little Words” scientists discover the shocking truth about grass. In “Eggs For Roman,” a baboon with human intelligence gets cyberbullied. And in “Beat,” a young man must save his own life from the music that’s taken it hostage. Often funny and always profound, Still Lost bends reality just enough for it to become a mirror and takes its readers on a daring and strange ride—an ultra-timely, sardonic collection that feasts on the follies and earnest absurdities of humanity.Sam A. Miller is an educational comedic YouTuber and Shorty Awards finalist with 4.8 million subscribers, known for his sardonic, MS-paint-illustrated videos on everything from pirates to Pliny to presidential pets. A life-long reader, this is his debut publication.PURCHASE:https://politics-prose.com/book/9780143139553?ic_referral=6BJ_4Aw7d2ICKK32lXY-YI8dLxctkmEo2Ri30JTIDt8wM50xsFT6zM0WUEsqZ2WBaTAJMmWSa_Dsthjt0RuNiQ0PpwTtT_jV_EWPE03hejT9KYMwr61LlhXyaRLgNtPa82x53o8
