古代希腊哲學家伊比鳩魯曾說過：「如果你成善，首先要相信你的惡。」總之，各位一定要了解人性是本惡的。當然人性本善的說法也是成立的。 而從紀元前哲學家們就已經思考，但至今仍想不通的東西一那就是人類、人類的心。而史蒂文生的奇異小說中的人們，所要表達的是對生活困難的控訴。至於本書除了譯成各國文字供各國讀者閱讀之外，還多次搬到舞台、電影中。「傑基爾博士和海德氏」這名字在今日便成了心理學家對擁有「雙重人格」的人的代名詞。本書則是以「傑基爾博士和海德氏」（Dr．Jekyll and Mr．Hyde 1886年）為主人翁架構來探討個人人格的雙重性以及社會的黑暗面。一位住在英國耶第芭蘭的威利•布洛提 他是位以工會會長身分當選市議員的名人，但到了晚上他卻搖身一變成為一名小偷。 他就這樣度過了十八年的雙面人生活，但在一次潛入女畫家家中時，被女主人看到了他的長相，而於一七八八年被判絞刑。 總之，在一樣出生於愛丁堡的作家羅勃特•路易士•史蒂文生的筆下，布洛提復活了。 即使了現代本書也很得人們喜歡，它的內容並非在描寫這聳動的事件，而是以尖銳的筆觸來描繪出我們理想下的悲劇性人物。本書不僅成為雙重人格的代名詞，並多次被改編為舞台劇和電影，在心理學和文學領域中影響深遠。

The inaugural collection of cartoons that introduced Tom Gauld's literary wit to the world now in paperback! "Precise and wryly hilarious...Gauld's both a literature nerd and a science-fiction nerd whose deadpan mashups belong on the same shelf as Kate Beaton."--NPR Drawn from Tom Gauld's popular comics feature in The Guardian, You're All Just Jealous of My Jetpack perfectly distills Gauld's dark humor, impeccable timing, and distinctive style. Classic strips like "The Bront?Sisters: The Videogame" and "The Serious Rock Critic" (who's written 32 books about Led Zeppelin) intermingle hilariously with piercing observations about politics and human behavior (see: "The Greedy Dog Stands on the Chair of Hope to Feast on the Sausage of Hubris") and whimsical imaginings of the future (see: "The 'Great Automaton Strike' of 2029 Saw the Birth of the Robot Protest Song"). Again and again, Gauld reaffirms his position as a first-rank cartoonist, creating work infused with a deep understanding of
