John Hodgman-bestselling author, The Daily Show's
"Resident Expert", minor television celebrity, and deranged
millionaire-brings us the third and final installment in his

The New York Times bestseller by Famous Minor Television
Personality John Hodgman—The Daily Show's "Resident
Expert" and the "PC" in the iconic Apple ads—picks up exactly
