About this audiobook
Former philosophy lecturer Edmund "Eddie" Voss prefers observing humanity to participating in it. From the corner table of his neighborhood café, he records the predictable patterns, contradictions, and quiet absurdities of everyday life in a well-worn notebook. When an impromptu critique of modern society goes viral, strangers convince him to form Misanthropes United, a gathering of intelligent skeptics who quickly discover that those who criticize humanity are no less human themselves. Wry, thoughtful, and quietly humorous, this literary novella explores certainty, group dynamics, and the elusive difference between observation and understanding.
