YOU RUINED IT FOR EVERYONE!: 101 PEOPLE WHO SCREWED THINGS UP FOR THE REST OF US

Book ID/图书代码: 07633010B41578

English Summary/英文概要: Energy sources are massively depleted. The government is wasteful and incompetent. The economy is imploding, the environment is toxic, and international terrorism threatens our day-to-day lives. And gum sucks. It just sucks. Who is responsible? Who made our world so dangerous, so unlivable, so stupid?
Matthew Vincent is unafraid to name names. Who’s to blame for the three-ounce rule on airplanes? Who came up with the bright idea of branding every single sports stadium? Who made curling an Olympic event? Which pope made celibacy mandatory? Who invented daylight saving time? (Who doesn’t hate daylight saving time?)
Here’s a book that’ll tell you who invented every unnecessary, annoying gadget that plagues modern life and haunts your dreams. It’s a book to keep in your bathroom for perusal before you end up having to drink out of your toilet bowl because there’s no potable water left in your hemisphere. Here’s a book that’ll tell you who ruined it for everyone.

Chinese Summary/中文概要: 能源被大量消耗掉了。政府对这种挥霍无度局面搞到无能为力。经济正在面临崩溃,环境遭到污染,国际恐怖主义对我们生活造成了威胁。这种局面糟透了。真的糟透了。但是谁又能对此负责呢?是谁让我们的世界变得如此危险,如此岌岌可危,如此停滞不前?
Matthew Vincent可不怕指名道姓。谁应该为飞机三蛊司规定负责?是谁提出了在体育场设立广告牌匾的注意?谁提出将冰壶作为一项奥运竞赛项目?是哪一位教皇制订了独身强制原则?是谁发明了节约时间的日光?(谁讨厌这项发明?)本书将会告诉你是谁发明了那些无益,恼人的玩意,让生活和梦想陷入困扰。这是一本能够让你在盥洗室细细阅读的书,在结束阅读之前,你或许还得跑到厕所外边喝一点水,因为你还要接下去细细品味。这本书将会告诉你,究竟是谁毁掉了所有人?(兼职翻译-PXD)

Awards/获奖情况:“我们——社会的不满者,我的意思是说,我发现这个世界缺少一个指引我们找到泄愤之处的向导。所以,感谢Matthew Vincent充满魄力的呐喊。”——《乡村之声》
“标题几乎已经说明了一切。我对Matthew Vincent感到惊讶,作者指明了将我们的生活变得一团糟的罪魁祸首有101人。我们也可以试着再在他的名单上添上一两个人名。”——《今日美国》
