Brought to you by Penguin.

Life philosophy based on Google searches


Have I kissed too many people?
Am I a psychopath?
Should I be allowed to say whatever I want?

Millions of people ask Google all sorts of questions, everything from the big and small.

Responding to the biggest, existential questions asked online and using the wisdom of Plato, Kant, Kierkegaard and other philosophical greats philosopher, academic, and all-round polymath, Stephen Law, undertakes the challenge and offers answers to our modern-day concerns. He tackles questions from Am I a good person? to Is there a face in my toast? with tongue-in-cheek sagacity.

No matter what you’ve googled in a midnight moment of existential despair, this book will answer all your burning questions.

Critics Review

  • A humorous yet serious introduction to philosophy, answering people’s real questions from the internet. Nobody will agree with all of it, but it will make everybody think harder. It is full of good and important stuff

    The Reverend Canon Professor Keith Ward, University of Oxford

  • The wisdom of the past addressing the questions of contemporary life. Law is able to make the most challenging philosophical ideas accessible and relevant to everyday life. A joy to read

    Dr Philip Goff, author of Galileo's Error
