Overview

The system was supposed to get better. It did not get better. It got a subscription model, an AI upgrade, and a rebrand - and somehow charged you more for all three. Modern Life Is Still Rubbish is the follow-up to Ray Dovano's debut - this time turning the lens not on the collapsing systems themselves, but on what they've done to the people living inside them. The friendship that died from scheduling conflicts. The body that started making noises no one warned you about. The anxiety that is either a medical condition or a completely rational response to being alive right now (probably both). The 2 AM kitchen visit that raises the question: when did simply existing become this much administration? Part cultural autopsy, part comedy of errors, part group chat for the permanently exhausted, this book covers everything from Instagram Face and the death of individual beauty, to the Event-ification of going for a drink, to the quiet heroism of paying for something in cash. It will not fix your life. There are no five steps. There is no framework. There is only the shared, slightly hysterical recognition that we are all going through exactly the same thing - and nobody in charge has apologised. For everyone who is tired of performing wellness. Everyone whose career is a series of pivots with no destination. Everyone who made friends easily at twenty-two and now can't see another human being without scheduling it three weeks in advance. Everyone who knows something broke - and is continuing anyway. ""This book won't fix anything. I want to be very clear about that upfront. There are no solutions here. No life hacks. No five steps to not being miserable in late-stage capitalism. This book is just... recognition.""
