I'm Rich, You're Poor cover

The world is full of books about how to be rich. This is not one of them.

Today, many of us are feeling the pinch - and being bombarded with portrayals of social media 'perfection' is making that pinch feel more like a punch.

We may know that social media - with all its billionaires and beauty queens - is just a highlight reel. So why is it still making most of us feel so low?

Comedian Shabaz Ali wants to help you see the funny side of social media again. Because while it looks nice to live up in an ivory tower, this book reminds us that it is much more fun to be part of the baying mob that surrounds it.

This laugh-out-loud deep-dive into social media's ridiculously rich, will help you love your own penny-pinched, rough-around-the-edges, extraordinarily ordinary life.

Hilarious and thought provoking! -- Davina McCall

Sharp commentary, delivered with wit
and in a fuzzy onesie, puts these topics into clearer context.

Smart, witty and refreshing – had me laughing out loud one
second and thinking deeply the next.

A brilliantly witty, always hilarious and unapologetically cutting
take on everything that is wrong with social media. I’ve never
loved Quavers so much!

This book is ‘vicked!’ Silly, funny, yet very insightful. -- Tez Ilyas

As a fellow povvo, I love Shabaz and this book because it is
informative, hilarious and relatable.

I love this book as much as I love my fridge full of assorted
flavour ice! Will make you fall in love with social media again.
