Thomas, an average American thirty-four years old, feels that life has lost its meaning and is trying to understand himself and the society in which he lives. His head is torn from torment, fears, unfulfilled plans and, most importantly, from questions. And there is only one way to find answers - ask. Then, one by one, Thomas kidnaps the people he would like to talk to: an astronaut, an ex-congressman, a school teacher, his own mother, a police officer, a doctor, and even a random passerby. Why doesn’t the astronaut fly to the moon? Why doesn't the government have the money for this, but five trillion dollars was just wasted on a pointless war? Could twelve heavily armed cops surround one man with a steak knife and the outcome would be a backyard execution? Why does his mother never give him credit for his achievements? And most importantly, how to overcome despair, find yourself and your place in life? Answers must be honest, even if they hurt. The book contains obscene language.
