In this beautifully written and amusing book, Critchley delves into the complex and often perplexing aspects of humor that shed light on what it means to be human. The author skillfully navigates through timeless and enigmatic facets of humor, including our inclination to find amusement in animals and our own bodies, the peculiar relationship between comedy and death, and the intriguing humor derived from human-machine interactions.
