Publisher's Synopsis
A book about buckets, fridge magnets, and transparent bubble pods by the New York Times bestselling author of The Internet is a Playground.
Hundreds of years ago, people didn't take quick trips to see the sights and buy a fridge magnet. Overseas travel meant booking passage on a ship. We're not talking Disney Cruiselines, there were no shows or shuffleboard, you just sat in your cabin hoping the ship didn't sink in a storm. Probably reading or cross-stitching on one of those things that looks like a cross between a little drum and a big homemade jam lid. "Gut-wrenchingly funny." WIRED "An incredibly funny, often insightful book about travel, sharp knives, and bad decisions." SYDNEY MORNING HERALD "Filled with wickedly smart observations and cutting sarcasm." THE SEATTLE TIMES
