An exceptionally well written spoof of Facebook covering the history of time up to the contemporary period. A vast array of people, notions, religions, countries and theories all funnily represented.
Not everyone will understand all the jokes as knowledge of history and events is necessary to get various punchlines but overall, adults will thoroughly enjoy this!
A very intriguing and enjoyable read.
With the world getting swept up in social media, it was only a matter of time before the history books caught onto it. This is a hilarious insight into how the world might have been if the existence of Facebook preceded the Big Bang. A great book at a fantastically cheap price. A great gift for a social media addict!
A great laugh…just for fun book for a change
In August 2010, Wylie Overstreet published a satirical article called “If Historical Events Had Facebook Statuses” on the website CoolMaterial.com. Within a month, it had received 3 million views and had been “liked” by 120,000 Facebook users.
In A WORLD HISTORY ACCORDING TO FACEBOOK, Overstreet expands this concept into a full-length history of the world, from its creation up through present day, as if Facebook had existed all along and Abraham Lincoln had written a status update about “taking the missus to the theater” on April 15, 1865 and Ben Franklin had done the same alerting his network that he’d signed the Declaration of Independence (”Bring it,” replied John Adams). Filled with hundreds of real-life historical figures and thousands of not-at-all-real Facebook statuses, comments, and actions, and parodying Facebook users’ proclivity to over-share and use lazy jargon (”lol,” “rofl,” “fml,” etc.), this is the definitive humor book for our generation.
