What to expect

Razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud satire of social media's mega-rich from 'The Voice of the Cost-of-Living Crisis' @ShabazSays

The world is full of books about how to be rich. This is not one of them.

Today, many of us are feeling the pinch - and being bombarded with portrayals of social media 'perfection' is making that pinch feel more like a punch.

We may know that social media - with all its billionaires and beauty queens - is just a highlight reel. So why is it still making most of us feel so low?

Comedian Shabaz Ali wants to help you see the funny side of social media again. Because while it looks nice to live up in an ivory tower, this book reminds us that it is much more fun to be part of the baying mob that surrounds it.

This laugh-out-loud deep-dive into social media's ridiculously rich, will help you love your own penny-pinched, rough-around-the-edges, extraordinarily ordinary life.

Shabaz Ali (@ShabazSays) is a comedian and broadcaster who has built a large and dedicated audience with his withering take downs of those who package and present their 'perfect' lives online. When he's not online you can find Shabaz at his day job as a chemistry teacher in Blackburn.

Critics Review

  • Hilarious and thought provoking!

    Davina McCall

  • Sharp commentary, delivered with wit
    and in a fuzzy onesie, puts these topics into clearer context.

    Adam Mosseri, Head of Instagram

  • Smart, witty and refreshing – had me laughing out loud one
    second and thinking deeply the next.

    Katie Piper OBE

  • A brilliantly witty, always hilarious and unapologetically cutting
    take on everything that is wrong with social media. I’ve never
    loved Quavers so much!
