Book Overview

by Carlos Greaves (Author), Ginny Hogan (Author)

"It's not easy to make this current political moment funny, but Greaves and Hogan pull it off again and again." -Nikki Glaser

We know, we know: A book about authoritarianism? In 2026? What, are the writers living in some liberal snowflake nightmare land? Or Germany in 1933?

Listen, we get it. There may not be much need right now for tips on how to live in an autocracy, but who knows? Maybe somewhere down the line, like this weekend, or tomorrow, or five minutes from now, you'll come upon a bombastic military parade, or a masked federal agent cosplaying as Sergeant Slaughter asking for your papers, or an octogenarian former beauty-pageant mogul cornering you in the new White House ballroom, droning on and on about the evils of windmills, and you will be glad to have read this book.

From how to stick your head in the sand to avoid thinking about your dictator, to the most effective ways to reeducate the masses, Ginny Hogan and Carlos Greaves's hilarious (and oddly reassuring?) Obey in Advance has you covered--whether you want to Make Authoritarianism Great Again or not.
