Robert Sheckley
From the very beginning of his career, Robert Sheckley was recognized by fans, reviewers and fellow authors as a master storyteller and the wittiest satirist working in the science fiction field. Rediscover - or discover for the first time - a master of science fiction who, according to the New York Times, was "a precursor to Douglas Adams".
The Journey of Joenes, also published as Journey Beyond Tomorrow, tells the tale of a picaresque journey through an imagined future taken by a naive and innocent man unprepared for the wonders and oddities he encounters. Sheckley examines the present through the distorting lens of a future wonderfully skewed from and yet darkly, hilariously, similar to our own world.
"I have always loved Robert Sheckley... I don't know of anyone else in SF who has written quite so many classic stories... wittier than Pohl... blacker than Lenny Bruce, subtler and more bent that the Firesigns and Monty Python put together... The key words with Sheckley are clever, deadly cool, and crazy as a bedbug."
—Spider Robinson

Any additional comments?
I have no idea what genre to categorize this novel under... But that's a good thing.This is easily one of the funniest, most unpredictable books that I have ever come across. It is easily one of Robert Sheckley's best works, a close second to "The Status Civilization".
At first, the narration performance struck me as odd, but once you get into the story, you soon realize it fits the story perfectly.
Buy this book.

a story told as a series of stories, often nested within other stories ha
the stories build in ways its just best to experience on your own
all I'll say is it's contextualilzed in a modernity (authors modernity at the time of writing presumably) made of a bizarre blending of historical memes put together like half understood pieces of pottery might poorly explain the marital and agricultural details of the long ago culture that made it
it's hilarious, illuminating, disturbing, and just strange sometimes
as always I'm just always sad to see the end to this man's books as I know they're were too few and I'm rapidly nearing the near the last of these as new experiences
damn, wtf this was brilliant
