A brilliantly funny look at the tumultuous recent past from the Pulitzer Prize–winning humorist.

Remember when everything was going to go to hell when Y2K struck?

That didn’t happen, right?

But what did happen? To provide a little perspective on a really messed-up millennium (so far), the one and only Dave Barry slips into his historian’s robe (it’s plush terrycloth) and revisits the defining moments in our country’s recent history. As an added bonus, Barry quickly—we’re busy here—tosses in the complete history of the last millennium, covering crucial turning points such as the invention of the pizza by Leonardo da Vinci and the computer by Charles Babbage (who died in 1871 still waiting to talk to tech support).

Fellow Americans, the time has come to bone up with Barry as he puts the hysterical in history. Funny Witty Satire 21st Century Modern Literature & Fiction

A great performance of Barry's classic humor. Don't listen at night, or you'll keep waking your spouse, laughing.

A Great Listen

I enjoyed listening to this book so much. The narrator gets Barry’s humor and delivers so much laughter. You’ll enjoy all the running jokes throughout the book. I hope Dave is writing another book of all the events that have happened since the end of this book. He shines a light on all the insanity and nonsense we live with as a nation and somehow that makes me feel more connected to my fellow countrymen.
Thank you Dave Barry for the happiness your writing and many books of yours, I have read, brings me

This book has the same writing pattern over and over. A paragraph about a topic and then a humorous sentence at the end. It would have been great if it was a newspaper article in length. But its just too much to listen too for a whole book's worth of this type of thing.
