Resumen del Editor
God, bored, decides that Earth has had its day - unless two idealistic angels can make a miracle happen.
Welcome to Heaven, Inc., the grossly mismanaged corporation in the sky. For as long as anyone can remember, the founder and CEO (known in some circles as "God") has been phoning it in. Lately, he's been spending most of his time on the golf course. And when he does show up at work, it's not to resolve wars or end famines, but to Google himself and read what humans have been blogging about him.
When God decides to retire (to pursue his lifelong dream of opening an Asian Fusion restaurant), he also decides to destroy Earth. His employees take the news in stride, except for Craig and Eliza, two underpaid angels in the lowly Department of Miracles. Unlike their boss, Craig and Eliza love their jobs - uncapping city fire hydrants on hot days, revealing lost keys in snow banks - and they refuse to accept that Earth is going under.
The angels manage to strike a deal with their boss. He'll call off his Armageddon if they can solve their toughest miracle yet: getting the two most socially awkward humans on the planet to fall in love. With doomsday fast approaching, and the humans ignoring every chance for happiness thrown their way, Craig and Eliza must move heaven and Earth to rescue them - and the rest of us, too.

Historia
In "Center of the Universe", God struggles to balance the demands of his career with the needs of his long-term girlfriend. In "Magical Mr. Goat", a young girl's imaginary friend yearns to become more than friends. In "Unprotected", an unused prophylactic recalls his years spent trapped inside a teen boy's wallet. The stories in Simon Rich's new audiobook are bizarre, funny, and yet...relatable. Rich explores love's many complications--losing it, finding it, breaking it, and making it--and turns the ordinary into the absurd.

Historia
Seymour is the least popular student at Glendale, a private school in Manhattan. His new nickname, “Chunk-Style”, is in danger of entering common usage. But then he meets the new transfer student: Elliot Allagash, evil heir of America’s largest fortune. Elliot’s rampant delinquency has already gotten him expelled from dozens of prep schools. But despite his best efforts, he can’t get himself thrown out of Glendale; his father has simply donated too much money. Bitter and bored, Elliot amuses himself by transforming Seymour into the most popular student in the school.

Historia
From wild and wacky to knee-slapping, laugh-out-loud fun, these humorous tales represent some of the best of recent seasons of the hit public radio series Selected Shorts. Comedian Wyatt Cenac gives a killer performance of Simon Rich’s hilarious tale of woe from the point of view of a condom in a young man’s wallet. Alec Baldwin gives a delightful over-the-top performance of James Thurber’s wonderfully silly classic tale of the day everybody in a small Ohio town thought the dam broke.

Historia
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast.

Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

Maria Bamford is a comedian’s comedian (an outsider among outsiders) and has forever fought to find a place to belong. From struggling with an eating disorder as a child of the 1980s, to navigating a career in the arts (and medical debt and psychiatric institutionalization), she has tried just about every method possible to not only be a part of the world, but to want to be a part of it. In Bamford’s “trademark blend of disarming intimacy and dark whimsy” (Publishers Weekly), Sure, I’ll Join Your Cult brings us on a quest to participate in something.

Back when restaurant menus were still printed on paper, and wearing a mask—or not—was a decision made mostly on Halloween, David Sedaris spent his time doing normal things. As Happy-Go-Lucky opens, he is learning to shoot guns with his sister, visiting muddy flea markets in Serbia, buying gummy worms to feed to ants, and telling his nonagenarian father wheelchair jokes. But then the pandemic hits, and like so many others, he’s stuck in lockdown, unable to tour and read for audiences, the part of his work he loves most.

You might want to change yours. You may not want to know about the things you'll read on these pages, about the sauce, about Korrok, about the invasion, and the future. But it's too late. You touched the book. You're in the game. You're under the eye. The only defense is knowledge. You need to read this book, to the end. Even the part with the bratwurst. Why?

Historia
We were fighting on the wrong side of a war we couldn't win. And that was the good news. The Ruhar hit us on Columbus Day. There we were, innocently drifting along the cosmos on our little blue marble, like the native Americans in 1492. Over the horizon come ships of a technologically advanced, aggressive culture, and BAM! There go the good old days, when humans only got killed by each other. So, Columbus Day. It fits. When the morning sky twinkled again, this time with Kristang starships jumping in to hammer the Ruhar, we thought we were saved.

So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Good story, but Simon Rich isn't the best @ voices
The story was pretty funny and had me laughing, but Simon Rich isn't the best at voices. At times, it can be confusing to tell who is talking in the book because he doesn't change his pitch at all.
That being said, the physical book and the TV show are great, and I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a laugh.

Fun book!
If you could sum up What in God's Name in three words, what would they be?
This book was just fun. Fun story, fun concept, just fun to listen to.
Any additional comments?
Simon Rich is such a creative and fun writer. He has a fantastic sense of humor and can really tell a great story. This story was a joy to listen to and unlike any other book I've bought. I had tears of laughter throughout this story. Completely entertaining! Buy this book if you are looking for something unusual, light, and funny.

TV show was better and i don't usually say that
the story was good and funny. A bit short. not as funny as the TV show that was based upon it. The worst part though was the reading... Proof once again that authors (with the possible exception of Neil Gaiman) should never read their own novels.

So wryly funny
Rich is expert at taking the ridiculous and making it seem commonplace. The straightforward approach to this novel is on point and hilarious. There is a slightly anti climatic feel at the end because of the way the plot must come down to the wire in order to function, but that kind of abrupt conclusion actually fits this book well.
Don’t look for deep spiritual meaning in this book. It’s meant to be funny, and it is.

fun book
I really enjoyed this book. Funny premise and situations. Heavy on the relationship comedy like Man Seeking. A quick listen and a lot of fun.

skip this and rent the TV series
this is like listening to a rough draft. the tv series is fleshed out and better. written by the same guy. so he will appreciate your money either way. but the tv series is better. it's weird that that's the first time I've ever said that in my entire life.

Liked it more than the show
I ended up liking the book more than the show even though I watched the show first. The plot is the same but the characters’ personalities and events are appreciably different between the show and book. Having read other reviews, there’s debate over which is funnier. I found the book funnier and if you think arson is a funny solution to your problems then so will you!
The author narrates the book and he does an okay job. He reads it without much fanfare but not bad and not remarkable

I would give this FIFTY stars if I could!
Simon Rich’s works are always a delight, and I only bought the audiobooks he himself reads, nailing the delivery of the lines he wrote and genuinely bringing to life his characters. The author voicing God, Craig, Eliza, Vince, Sam, Laura, and Raj paints the landscape of a fantastic world where Heaven is a corporation and a bet is made upon which the fate of the world depends. I love Simon Rich’s dry, acerbic wit, the way he delivers just the right phrase in just the right moment. Sick of the news, in general, I sought comedy, and found it here in spades.
