About this audiobook
Book 2 — The Velocity of the Splatter
The universe is accelerating, your missing keys are probably involved, and the Cosmic Elastic Band is starting to hum.
In this second instalment, Richard Davies takes a cheerful wrecking ball to certainty, exploring loose ends, deleted texts, bad decisions and the strange cosmic friction caused by trying to keep life tidy. With pigeons, rubber ducks and the occasional philosophical ambush, The Velocity of the Splatter asks what happens when the universe speeds up and nobody has read the instructions.
Funny, sharp and unexpectedly comforting, this is philosophy for people who suspect existence is a magnificent mess — and are beginning to enjoy the view.
