The backstory to this book is that once, when I was about ten years old, I wrote a fictional product description for the Fartomat 2000. That text is not included here, but the idea that marketing can be used as satire has remained.

Since then, I've grown older, wiser, and more arrogant, and with this book, I've finally used the Joker's motto (Why so serious?) to cram a compilation of all sorts of stories, fictional offers, abstruse scenarios, and several plays into one large work. Everything is somehow absurd, but at the same time, it's precisely through this that I've been able to explore completely new perspectives and ideas.

If I were to categorize myself, my stories would probably correspond to a kind of quest to answer philosophical questions using an absurd entrepreneurial approach.

It's the book the Joker could have written.
