The Little Book of First-World Problems

We live in an age of miracle technology, instant gratification… and a thousand tiny annoyances that can ruin your day faster than you can say, “low battery.”

From the coffee shop that “forgets” your oat milk, to the streaming service that freezes during the finale, to the smart fridge that decides to judge your snacking habits, this is modern life in all its mildly infuriating glory.

The Little Book of First World Problems is a hilarious guided tour of the everyday dramas we pretend don’t matter but secretly do. You’ll laugh, wince, and possibly shout “YES, THAT!” more than once as you recognise your own petty grievances past, present, and, thanks to a healthy dash of future-gazing, the bizarre inconveniences yet to come (teleportation traffic jams, anyone?).

Equal parts social observation and comedy therapy, this is the perfect companion for anyone who’s ever had a phone die mid-selfie, a parcel vanishes into the “safe place” dimension, or an AI assistant that just won’t listen.

Although life’s little problems might never go away, at least we can laugh at them together.
