Mindsploitation lampoons the hundreds of websites throughout the globe offering to carry out the tough tasks that many Americans will not do. The silliness and significance of this dynamic is particularly pertinent to young Americans, who have come into maturity in a world where such services are taken for granted. What does it say about our society that we can commission a eulogy for our grandmother, or have a poem for our mistress custom prepared to order by a total stranger at the click of a button? Just how entitled is a culture that keeps these services afloat? Mindsploitation uses such questions as launching pads for wildly entertaining, comedic exchanges. The hundreds of custom assignments in this book humorously explore self-help, spirituality, family, health, diet, pop culture, love, and more. Mindsploitation wrings laughs out of characters engaging in the same type of rampant outsourcing that American corporations have embraced for the last 20 years.
