Instant New York Times bestseller
“Howard Zinn on acid or some bullsh*t like that.” —Tim Heidecker

The creators of the cult-hit podcast Chapo Trap House deliver a manifesto for everyone who feels orphaned and alienated—politically, culturally, and economically—by the lanyard-wearing Wall Street centrism of the left and the lizard-brained atavism of the right: there is a better way, the Chapo Way.

In a guide that reads like “a weirder, smarter, and deliciously meaner version of The Daily Show’s 2004 America (The Book)” (Paste), Chapo Trap House shows you that you don’t have to side with either sinking ships. These self-described “assholes from the internet” offer a fully ironic ideology for all who feel politically hopeless and prefer broadsides and tirades to reasoned debate.

Learn the “secret” history of the world, politics, media, and everything in-between that THEY don’t want you to know and chart a course from our wretched present to a utopian future where one can post in the morning, game in the afternoon, and podcast after dinner without ever becoming a poster, gamer, or podcaster.

A book that’s “as intellectually serious and analytically original as it is irreverent and funny” (Glenn Greenwald, New York Times bestselling author of No Place to Hide) The Chapo Guide to Revolution features illustrated taxonomies of contemporary liberal and conservative characters, biographies of important thought leaders, “never before seen” drafts of Aaron Sorkin’s Newsroom manga, and the ten new laws that govern Chapo Year Zero (everyone gets a dog, billionaires are turned into Soylent, and logic is outlawed). If you’re a fan of sacred cows, prisoners being taken, and holds being barred, then this book is NOT for you. However, if you feel disenfranchised from the political and cultural nightmare we’re in, then Chapo, let’s go…

Oh hell yeaaa

I’ve been waiting for this to come out for so long and I’ve gotta say it doesn’t disappoint. Chapo does it again with their absolutely bleak, completely demented, chaotic style that you can’t find anywhere else except for the scattered remnants of now defunct web forums and ephemeral discord chats that inevitably fall apart because of infighting. These guys are our only hope and, honestly, we’re all going to die. At least it’s going to be fun.

Hilarious book.

it does a great job mocking society as we know it and reminds us it doesn't have to be like this.

Prescient look at the current hellscape

possessed all of the elements that makes chapo great, astute analysis and sharp humor. paints vivid images of the world around us and the forces that control and inhabit it. well worth a read or listen.

pure gold so funny

I am huge fan of the chapo trap house podcast and if you like the podcast you will love this book. this book is largely meant for cynical left leaning edgelords who dont like Republicans nor liberals. chapo trap house does not pull any punches and is a hilarious take on politics and culture. the book has a decent amount of inside jokes from the podcast, but it is not necessary to have listened to the podcast to enjoy the book. however having listened to at least a couple episodes of the podcast will greatly enhance your enjoyment of the book. 100% worth buying

are you triggered? This post required more unique words.

Genuinely fun and at times incisive

It feels like a well planned monologue (ie Matt or Amber) that would be the shining part of any episode of their podcast. Hilarious and smart. My only issue is I wanted to hear Amber read and see her intelligent insights in it.

It's your boys

They're here and they've got things to say. A good book by some good boys.

Buy the Book!!

Buy the book, buy the book, buy the effing book. Seriously, buy the book guys. Would buy again

10/10 would bang

The book format allows the chapo team to distill their brand of radical democratic socialism into a condensed yet thorough overview of the modern world and a rich summary of how we got here while still delivering the sick memes and humor that help turn all of the awfulness into a palatable pâté.

Virgil Texas, please sign my baby.

I'm not done reading this book. Maybe Amazon should have a feature that doesn't let you write a review until Alexa hears the wake words "Damn it. Chapo. You've done it again!" Though, I should admit, that's me after every other complete thought presented to me by this book.

On that note, someone come tell Virgil to father my child, sign it, then abandon the both of us so I can live my dream of pining for an angel-voiced PoC from afar. Think about it... you, me, a mixed asian-latino fusion baby with daddy issues. Call me.
