Auf gewohnt humorvolle Weise stellt sich Dieter Nuhr unerschrocken den Hürden unserer Existenz und liefert alle relevanten Antworten auf die wichtigen Fragen des Was ist hier los, wo geht es lang? Wo ist die Lösung? Und wer kennt das Problem? Dabei geht es um nicht weniger als um Um entlaufene Kamele, die Kritik der reinen Vernunft, Warnungen vor Heißgetränken und darum, warum es manchmal sogar sinnvoll ist, die Zivilisation nicht ausschließlich aus dem Blickwinkel ihres baldigen Untergangs zu betrachten.
