Summary

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Presents Earth (The Audiobook)

By: Jon Stewart

Narrarated by: Samantha Bee, Sigourney Weaver, John Oliver, Jon Stewart, Jason Jones, Wyatt Cenac

Where do we come from? Who created us? Why are we here? These questions have puzzled us since the dawn of time, but when it became apparent to Jon Stewart and the writers of The Daily Show that the world was about to end, they embarked on a massive mission to write a book that summed up the human race: What we looked like; what we accomplished; our achievements in society, government, religion, science and culture — all in a lavishly produced audiobook of approximately 200 minutes.

After two weeks of hard work and nights in the recording studio, they had their audiobook. EARTH (The Book) is the definitive guide to our species. With their trademark wit, irreverence, and intelligence, Stewart and his team will posthumously answer all of life's most hard-hitting questions, completely unburdened by objectivity, journalistic integrity, or even accuracy.

A humorous guide to the planet and the people who screwed it up
When the aliens come to take over Earth, and they will, they’ll need an owning/operating manual for their new blue and green sphere. The writers of “The Daily Show” helpfully provide that with Earth, a humorous comprehensive guide to the planet and the people who screwed it up. While the audio version may lack the visual charms of the hardcover, there are plenty of audio treats for listeners like many familiar “Daily Show” voices (John Oliver, Samantha Bee, John Stewart, for instance) and, inexplicably, the dulcet tones of Sigourney Weaver providing additional narrative support. The book also provides FAQs for the aliens as well as a tittering laughter soundtrack for words like “Uranus” and “Lake Titicaca.”
