How Did It All Happen?

De: Gerald Blackthorne

Narrado por: Richard Salem

Meaning does not attend status meetings.

What if organized religion ran like a startup, with launch decks, KPIs, and a product roadmap, and Jesus arrived as the prototype that refused to stay on script?

How Did It All Happen? follows a tiny celestial ops team in a glass room above Earth. Flo manages the rollout, Callisto guards her conscience, Anthrax spins the brand, and Dave lives inside the dashboard. Their job is simple in theory, optimize belief. Their result is two thousand years of miracles, memos, schisms, and fix-it patches, while a stubbornly human Jesus keeps choosing mercy over metrics.

From Bethlehem to Avignon to the modern megachurch, the book delivers a sharp, warm satire of bureaucracy, marketing, and the systems that try to monetize longing. It is irreverent toward institutions, respectful toward personal faith, and driven by character. The scope is epic, the cast stays intimate, the jokes land, and the heart shows.

You will enjoy this book if you like:

• Smart, funny fiction that asks real questions about meaning and control
• Big history seen from one small room
• Satire that targets branding and bureaucracy, not belief
• Inventive forms, including release notes, incident reports, and memos

Perfect for listeners of metaphysical comedy, corporate satire, and upmarket speculative fiction.
