A brilliantly funny go through the tumultuous recent times from your Pulitzer Prize-winning humorist.

Remember when everything would go to hell when Y2K struck?

That didn’t happen, ideal?

But what did happen? To provide just a little perspective on an extremely messed-up millennium (so far), the best Dave Barry slips into his historian’s robe (it’s plush terrycloth) and revisits the determining moments inside our country’s latest history. As an added bonus, Barry quickly-we’re active here-tosses in the complete history of the final millennium, covering essential turning points such as the invention of the pizza by Leonardo da Vinci and the computer by Charles Babbage (who passed away in 1871 still waiting around to speak to tech support).

Fellow Americans, the time provides come to bone up with Barry as he places the hysterical in history.
