The History of the World According to Facebook
The Sun is now friends with Earth and 7 other planets Not cool. What if Facebook had emerged with the Big Bang, and every historical event took place online? Imagine how we’d we see history if . . . On April 15, 1865, Abraham Lincoln updated his "Taking the missus to the theater" God and Stephen Hawking trolled each other in a comment war over the creation of the universe? Alexander the Great "checked into" all the countries he conquered Irreverent and clever, The History of the World According to Facebook goes back through time, from the beginning of the world to the present, to cover all the major events and eras of human history, such as the Renaissance, the Industrial Revolution, and the Information Age. Filled with hundreds of actual figures from across the centuries and thousands of invented statuses, comments, and actions lampooning Facebook users’ penchant for oversharing, abbreviation, self-importance, and lazy jargon, The History of the World According to Facebook defies all attempts at taking the multi-billion user social media platform SRSLY. It is the funniest parody of history and the dawn of man since, well, the dawn of man.

The author clearly didn’t get the memo that when you write a novelty joke book, you’re supposed to shit out derivative sequels at every opportunity. We never got a History of the World According to Twitch, Twitter, or Tik Tok. I suppose the latter would have to be a pop-up book with tabs and toggles for dancing historical figures—“get Lincoln’s Emancipation Boogie-Nation trending.” (Being elderly and never having willingly given up my personal information to the CCP, I don’t actually know if this is still what people are doing on Tik Tok).
A thought occurs, however. The History of the World According to Goodreads, in which the impossible task of determining which book historical figures were reading at the time of major events or at the time of their death is undertaken and Walt Whitman is reviewing his own books under the pseudonym ‘Whit Waltman.’
Oh, this old Facebook book. Trite amusement giving way to “we get it, social media trivializes everything,” as expected.

This book literally gave me such a severe headache when I first started reading it that I couldn't stand to finish it in one sitting despite its Neanderthal-level simplicity and childishly short length. I absolutely hated this book and found almost all of it to be absolutely intolerable.
I bought this book a long time ago, back when I still had a Facebook account. I think I would've liked it more back then since I was still an active member of the site; I noticed some similarities between the posts written in the book and the posts I would write back in the day with my friends (much to my embarrassment). Now that I've been off of social media for several years (unless Goodreads counts?), I have lost all patience for the irritating lingo, the preschool level grammar, and the empty-headed substance of the vast majority of Facebook posts, so having to subject myself to an entire book of this kind of crap wasn't very fun. One page in and I was already sick of the language and writing of the book. I know that the point was to make it as much like Facebook as possible, but that doesn't make it any less infuriating to have to sit through.
The History of the World According to Facebook attempts to give a contemporary voice to some major figures and events in history in a comedic fashion. From the beginning of time up until the assassination of Bin Laden by Seal Team Six, everybody and everything is made to have the same shallow and annoying voice. You get sick of the book's one joke very quickly. Sure, I found a handful of fictitious posts to be somewhat clever and even a little bit funny, but not nearly enough times to say this book was humorous.
I do begrudgingly have to give this book some credit for being quite authentic to the Facebook experience. In my last days on Facebook, I felt the same level of disgust and disappointment in humanity as while reading this book. This book helped me remember why I left Facebook in the first place, and it has reinforced my desire to never come back to it.
I may not be the best person to review this book since I am totally incapable of looking at Facebook in an objective light without wanting to rant about how disgraceful I find the platform to be; I make no attempt to hide my contempt for social media and thus those negative views come flooding back in full force every time I think about this book. I can say that if you have a Facebook and use it frequently, you'll understand the book. However, your level of enjoyment will depend greatly on what kind of user you are. If you somehow actually like reading inane Facebook posts on a regular basis, then you may like this crap, too. Me? I hate Facebook with a passion, therefore I hate the book equally as much, and anyone of my disposition towards social media will more than likely share my sentiments.

*Two stars = Didn't really like it overall, but it was ok at parts.
Facebook, with it's mandatory timeline and confusing privacy policies, is loved-and-hated by many. In fact, I read that there's an online that there's a movement to delete your facebook account. But anyways, one useful feature of the facebook timeline (the old one, not the new one), is it's ability to tell a story. It's been successfully dones for Classic Literature, like the book Ophelia Joined the Group Maidens Who Don't Float: Classic Lit Signs on to Facebook. Which is why, when I saw The History of the World According to Facebook at the library, I immediately grabbed it.
This book could have been great. There are a lot of things going for it: the politically incorrect humour was the main thing (although I suspect that being politically incorrect will soon be the new politically correct). I laughed many times while reading it. And Mr Bean as Britain's profile picture? (Y)
But, it's seriously hampered by a few flaws. One was the America/Euro-centric bias. Where was the history of China? Or Japan? Or Korea? Or... you get the point. They only appeared during times of War. I could ignore this most of the time, but there was one even bigger problem.
And that was it's anti-religion, to be specific, Christianity (because it barely mentions other religions). The book goes beyond poking lighthearted fun at the Church into nauseating virtiol at times. E.g. When The Origin of Species appears on facebook, it's described as "Backed Up by Oodles of Scientific Evidence and Fossil Records." Um, excuse me, but there's no evidence for the type of macro-evolution that you promote. Natural selection (or Micro-Evolution), does exist, as some information is duplicated or eliminated, but there is no evidence to show how any organism can gain genetic information that has never been in them previously through natural means. In short, I have never seen an article claiming that XXXX effect is caused by a gene that has never existed in that person's/organism before. Normally, it's due to a loss/blockage or duplication of genetic information.
Oh, and the whole World War II thing? Quite pro-American. Nothing wrong with that, but still, there are facts you could include. Like the Rape of Nanking. Or the Fall of Singapore. Or, you know, Japan's attempt to get the European Jews it saved to America. I can see it now:
Japan>America: I got some Jews from Germany. Can they come to your place?
America>Japan: Nope. We're afraid they'll be German spies even though Hitler wants to kill them because they have family back in Germany.
Sigh. What a pity.

The title pretty much says it all. This is a history of the world written in Facebook statuses and it is hilarious! It covers the period from the Big Bang to Osama bin Laden's death. It's silly, but it made me laugh a lot
A few examples:
The Sun is now friends with Earth and 7 other planets
Pluto: Not cool.
The Moon added Werewolves to its Interests.
Vampires: Dislike
The Moon added Menstrual Cycles to its Interests
Vampires: Like!
Adam Anyone know what long-term complications can arise from a missing rib?
God Pipe down, you'll like what I'm making
Adam is now friends with Eve
Alexander the Great is in Greece with the Macedonian Army
Alexander the Great is in Persia with the Macedonian Army
Alexander the Great is in Egypt with the Macedonian Army
Alexander the Great is in Arabia with the Macedonian Army
Alexander the Great is in Mesopotamia with the Macedonian Army
Alexander the Great is in India with the Macedonian Army
Macedonian Army: You know, we could use a break
Marie Antoinette added Ignorance to her interests.
Marie Antoinette: I honestly don't even know what that word means!
Gavrilo Princip > Archduke Franz Ferdinand Taste lead, TYRANT!
Serbia > Gavrilo Princip Why why WHY did you do that!?!!??!!?!
Gavrilo Princip Oh c'mon, he was an oppressor. What's the worst that can happen?
Austria-Hungary declares war on Serbia
World winces: This might snowball
Gavrilo Princip Oh
Serbia Yeah.
Richard Nixon is no longer in a relationship with The United States
David Frost: You want to talk about it?
The '80s is in a relationship with Bad Taste
Stirrup Pants, Mullets, and Synth like this
Michael Jackson You still got me
Madonna Me too
Hall and Oates We're here if you need to talk
Google added Internet Search to its Interests
Metacrawler Awful big pond for you, little fishy
Lycos lol
Altavista welcome to the Majors, kiddo
Hotbot Destined to fail
And there were lots more. Some of my favourites didn't make it into this "review" because you need the profile pictures etc. to get the full impact. But I promise you this is worth the money.
Good fun, good fun :)

The first half (give or take) of this book is really the best; there are some very clever jokes and nothing is too close to our current misery to feel "too soon."

Hur!!?? I wasn't sure how to treat this book. I wasn't even sure under what category this book should go. Should I be incredulously surprised that something on this topic could ever become a book at all or to be equally surprised that I would pick it up and flip through every page? Nevertheless, if that fella Overstreet could whip up a book just by collecting fictional status updates from history, I shouldn't be too concern about trivial things such as this.
Of course Facebook did not exist when the universe was formed, and God definitely cared less to update in the social networking site. Because of all these facts, it makes this book much more interesting when Overstreet gave them a fictional account and started updating on behalf of them.
The involved parties are not all historical - some are fictional characters from movies but portrayed within the timeline as if it really did happen, making the reader who manage to hold his laughter to that point of the book to read in surprise and continue laughing.

I bought this book thinking it would be a funny coffee table book. It's essentially a complete listing of history (starting with the big bang all the way to May 2011) written as Facebook statuses. Some of them were kind of catchy or got a little chuckle from me, but for the most part it was not even remotely funny to me. Most of them were just a "omg/lol" version of a history book and not all that creative. I was going to keep it but a very distasteful joke regarding the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster really put me off and I'll simply be giving this book away. They could have done a much better job on this as it's a great idea.
June 9, 2015
Okay so this was cute! As a history nerd and an avid social media user I knew this book was me for me. I really liked it thought it was obviously just skimmed the surface of world history. I wouldn't go to this book for an overview or anything. This is more for the history geeks I think. Really liked it, didn't quite love it though.
June 19, 2012
There were some very funny parts, although I wish I hadn't read the reviews that quoted some of the statuses since that meant I read the best ones before I read the book. And I thought it could have done without quite so much slamming of Christians and Republicans. It seemed rather immature.

Ever wonder what Abraham Lincoln's Facebook page would have contained? Or God's? Or Hitler's? That's what Wylie Overstreet imagines in this humorous look at the history of the world. It's funny, clever, thought-provoking, and definitely irreverent and boardering on blasphemous. Overstreet's at his best with the ancient history stuff and it actually lags as the dates approach present day. Using all the status updates, tagging, locations, etc that make Facebook both enticing and appalling we take a trip through time from the beginning of the world where The Singularity is hosting a "Big Bang celebration" through the story of Adam and Eve, the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Renaissance, the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and all the way to the last Presidential election.
WHAT FUN! Since I work in a high school, I can picture sharing some of the posts as part of a history class -- leaving out the profanity, of course. In any case, it's a great gift for any history buff or Facebook fan.

Ok, this book is beyond hilarious and a must-read for anyone with a good sense of humor. The entire book is status updates from the beginning of time up till the present. Some examples include:
Mary: OMFG I'm pregnant
Joseph: Um, you're a virgin babe, I should know
God: OMFG is right
Joseph: wait...
Joseph: Oh not cool
Holy Ghost: LOL, someone call Maury
Boston created an event: Tea Party! Protest unfair taxation by making the whole town smell like chamomile!
Ben Franklin: A righteous cause! Let's hope that in the future this event isn't misappropriated by ignorant angry white people to advocate a backwards political agenda!
Johnny Cash shared a link: Reno Man Shot, Motive Unclear. Witnesses say gunman just "watched victim die."
Nancy Kerrigan: OW MY KNEE

Had some really funny, even brilliant, laugh-out-loud lines but, like so many humor books, suffered from being too much written for the moment, over-comtemporizing, to the point that I wonder if it will even be readable a year from now. Also, branded as "History of the World" but should really be called "History of the West." The only times the non western world was included was when it came into contact with the west, e.g. Vietnam War, Iraq war, etc. Also, far too focused on the 20th century.
That said, it was a parody and "According to Facebook" so maybe all of those choices were intentional.

LMFAO. This was a fantastic read. Funny and ironic. My favourites:
"Meteor: hitting up the earth today, if you know what I mean
Dinosaurs: NOOOOOO!
Cockroaches: whatev."
"The Pope has added pointy hats to his interests"
"Caesar: Gonna be a killer party tonight!
Brutus: Oh yeah, it'll be killer alright"
If you want a good laugh that is based in fact, read this book

Yes, it's a one trick pony. But it made me guffaw any number of times. Overstreet has his finger on the pulse of ... well, us as hive-mind. Some of the pictures he chose to represent historical people/events were hilarious. I thought the inclusion of the odd modern bit into the historical timeline (Marty McFly, for example) was well done. Silly, fun, and worth picking up.

Like Facebook itself, this book begins with a rush and then becomes a hit or miss hodgepodge.

Started out great. Loved the concept, but after you’ve read the same “joke” for X amount of pages, it really gets to be too much.
November 3, 2020
This was a rather amusing coffee table book, my boyfriend bought me it for my birthday after I had seen in in Urban Outfitters. When I was living on my own and did not have internet I used to keep it beside my bed and read the funny little story's after a big night out. The book is very Very american however, if anyone is interested I have a more detailed review on my YouTube channel

Die Idee, die Geschichte der Erde in Facebook zu packen, ist schon mal etwas anderes.
Man sieht praktisch den Stil von Facebook mit Likes, Kommentaren und allem, was Facebook ausmacht.
Das Ganz läuft dann in etwa so:
Eva "gefällt" das Paradies.
>Gott< kommentiert daraufhin ganz nüchtern: Wem bitte nicht?
So in diesem Stil ist das ganze Buch gehalten.
Das Buch lässt sich gut lesen und biete eine kurzweilige, lustige Unterhaltung, sollte aber auch mit einem Augenzwinkern gesehen werden. Obwohl man sehen muss, dass die Daten in dem Buch wirklich stimmen. Praktisch jeder hat ein Profil bei Facebook und teilt seinen Status oder seinen Standort. Kommentiert und Geliket wird auch immer alles.
Schade war nur, dass man mit dem Buch so schnell durchwar, denn bei 160 Seiten im Stil von Facebookposts ist man mit dem Lesen wirklich schnell durch.
Fazit:
"Adam ist jetzt mit Eva befreundet" ist ein Buch zum Schmunzeln, dass die Geschichte mal in einem anderen Licht erscheinen lässt. Man fühlt sich gut unterhalten, sollte das Ganze aber auch mit einem Augenzwinkern sehen.
Allerdings ist das Buch wohl nichts für Menschen, die Facebook nicht mögen oder nutzen.

Tää kirja oli ihan mahtava löytö kirja-aleista. Tykkäsin todella paljon ja nauroin välillä todella hervottomasti, sillä tässä näkökulma historiallisiin tapahtumiin on mielestäni ihan hervottoman hyvällä huumorilla tehty. Ja ns. profiilit kirjassa sekä kaikki muu tuttu facebookmaisuus oli tuotu tähän kirjaan. Oisin voinut lukea paljon pidempäänkin tätä kirjaa ja ueampia satoja sivuja. Ehhkä ainoa miinus siitä, että sivumäärä suhteellisen pieni.

I have a pretty thick skin, but the writer attempts to make fun of the Holocaust, the Columbia Disaster, sex offenders, September 11, Hurricane Katrina, and the recent tsunamis in Asia. I believe there was a tasteful way to recognize these events in this book, but that was not what happened.
In addition to its offensive “jokes”, the book is overpowered by the author’s political leanings, infused with way too many fictional characters, and already feels dated, despite coming out in 2011.

Good humor
I bought this so the author would get paid. I enjoyed it when I first read it online for free, and this is an extended version. Clever writing, funny, and bound to send you down more than one Wikipedia hole.
