The Advanced Guide to Self-Destruction

Civilization is spiraling. Democracy’s on its last legs. And somewhere just outside of Area 51, an alien named Alexi is trying to escape Earth’s bureaucratic nightmare—with help from a very enthusiastic human scientist named Toby.

The Advanced Guide to Self-Destruction is a satirical sci-fi rollercoaster that blends political theory, cosmic absurdity, and biting humor. When Earth becomes too stupid for its own good, one alien must navigate quarantine zones, incompetently evil administrations, and spaceport paperwork just to get the hell out.

Along the way:
– There’s a literal orange president
– A villain who wants power but can’t handle meetings
– A Galactic Senate that’s somehow worse than the UN
– And a civilization on the brink of collapse, still arguing over parking validation

This isn't just a guidebook for how societies implode—it's a wild narrative ride through the end of everything, peppered with sharp jokes, footnote snark, and reflections on what it really means to be civilized (spoiler: Earth’s not winning).

Imagine if Douglas Adams tried to explain the fall of empires while stuck in line at the DMV. Now add aliens.
