Planet Lazy
What is Planet Lazy? None of the scientists have heard of it, and there's no record of it ever existing. Yet people swear that they've been there. One day, they vanished from Earth and wound up in a place where they could have anything they'd ever wanted without having to, you know, do anything.
Join the fat, socially awkward, will-probably-die-a-virgin Karturian as he navigates our strange universe of starving giants, nit-picky zombies, talking cats, a whole planet of women who have never seen a man before, and much much more on his voyage to the mythical Planet Lazy.
- What is the answer to 7 + 7 ÷ 7 + 7 x 7 – 7 = ?
- How do you hide cigarette smoke from your parents?
- Does Cheese Whiz go better with pancakes or waffles?
- What are cats really thinking?
- How do you become the richest being in the universe by doing half of the work most people do and utilizing Facebook likes?
- What do you do if you're out in space and really have to use the bathroom?
...just a few of life's more pertinent questions that Karturian hopes to answer on his journey.
Hilarious, surreal, unpredictable, fun, and strangely moving at times, this social satire is The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy meets Kilgore Trout and Venus on the Half-Shell. Planet Lazy throws modern-day issues and news topics into a comedic food processor and spits them out into a scrumptious sci-fi pâté. The topics include eating disorders, low birthrate, cell cryopreservation, patriarchal and matriarchal societies, intercultural relationships, global warming, unethical technological and medical advancements, volunteering in impoverished nations, free-range farming, the robot apocalypse, lazy entrepreneurship, and everyone's obsession with cats!

Karturian is propelled down a weird and wacky journey in Ryan Davis’ Planet Lazy! This wild adventure is filled with imaginative worlds all brought to life by Davis’ fun and quirky writing. It’s like a mixture of Hitchhiker’s Guide and Terry Pratchett and I loved every second of it!

The author Ryan Davis did a great job writing this book. He brought humor to Sci Fi. I highly recommend Planet Lazy. I received an ARC for Planet Lazy and I can't wait to see what author Ryan Davis has in store for his readers next.
