He was just a guy with a laptop, a short fuse, and one burning question: Why does everything suck on purpose?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMartin 'Marty' Puddleworth isn't a hero. He's just a guy who thinks Wi-Fi should work, landlords shouldn't exist, and maybe-just maybe-life doesn't have to be this hard. But when his sarcastic little book \u003ci\u003eThe Way It Should Be\u003c\/i\u003e accidentally sparks a global movement, a squad of time-traveling space squids decide he must be stopped. Cue the most incompetent sabotage attempt in galactic history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart hysterical satire, part unexpectedly inspiring, and 100% a love letter to stubborn human hope, \u003ci\u003eThe Way It Should Have Been\u003c\/i\u003e asks: What if changing the world isn't about heroes... but about enough people finally deciding to stop putting up with the nonsense?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, 200 years in the future, Earth is a utopia where no one yells at customer service, and the aliens are really annoyed about it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBonus Book included!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Way It Should Be\u003c\/i\u003e, Martin Puddleworth tears apart the myths we've been sold-about work, money, power, and why we've all been convinced that suffering is somehow virtuous. With equal parts razor-sharp wit and unflinching honesty, he exposes: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- The scam of \"meritocracy\" (Spoiler: It's rigged)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- The absurdity of \"there's no money for that\" (There is. They're hoarding it.)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- The lie of \"human nature\" (Turns out, we're wired for cooperation-not 80-hour workweeks)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart rant, part roadmap, and 100% a middle finger to the status quo, this book isn't about dreaming of a better world. It's about building one-one pissed-off, stubborn, darkly funny step at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The book your boss doesn't want you to read.
