  In this delightfully tangled tale of wit, ego, and legal entanglements, O. Henry serves up a razor-sharp satire of matrimonial mischief and mistaken identity. 
  Meet Lawyer Gooch, a shrewd legal mind with a taste for theatrical metaphors and a knack for keeping his office “compartments” watertight—especially when handling the explosive dramas of divorce. But when three strangers arrive, each spinning a “hypothetical” tale involving the same runaway wife, a suave suitor, and a weary husband, Gooch finds himself navigating a shipwreck of schemes, secrets, and social pretensions. 
  Narrated with droll charm by Mike Polischuk, The Hypotheses of Failure is a classic O. Henry farce—full of ironic twists, comedic timing, and a final punchline worthy of a standing ovation.

  Are you tired of feeling things? Do you want to stop caring about life’s endless nonsense? Congratulations—you’re ready for Stoicism. 
  Life is a relentless parade of disasters, disappointments, and idiots who won’t shut up. And yet, most people spend their days panicking, complaining, and overreacting—wasting precious energy on things they can’t control. A true Stoic? They sip their coffee in complete silence while the world crumbles around them. 
  This book will teach you the fine art of emotional detachment so that nothing—not traffic, not heartbreak, not even the impending collapse of civilization—can shake you. 
  Inside, You’ll Learn: 
  💀 How to wake up every morning knowing that today will be a mess—and being fine with it 
  💀 The “Meh” response system for handling everything from job loss to bad WiFi 
  💀 Why material things are pointless (but also, let’s be real, heated car seats are amazing) 
  💀 How to pretend to listen while mentally escaping to Ancient Rome 
  💀 How to master the blank, expressionless stare that makes people deeply uncomfortable 
  💀 Why billionaires would be happier living in a cave (but you still need rent money, so don’t do that) 
  💀 The nightly ritual of contemplating death so you can sleep like a sociopath 
  This is not a self-help book. This is a self-detachment book. If you’re ready to become an unshakable force of calm indifference, to stop letting life stress you out, and to fully embrace the Stoic art of not giving a single damn, this is the book for you. 
  ☠️ WARNING: Reading this book may cause: 
  ✔️ A total loss of interest in pointless drama 
  ✔️ An inability to react to nonsense, even when expected to 
  ✔️ People wondering if you’re deeply enlightened or just emotionally broken

  Nothing has happened. Not yet, anyway. This is how all things begin. 
   
   
   
  Welcome to Apex City, formerly Bangalore, where everything is decided by the mathematically perfect Bell Curve. 
   
   
   
  With the right image, values, and opinions, you can ascend to the glittering heights of the Twenty Percent—the Virtual elite—and have the world at your feet. Otherwise you risk falling to the precarious Ten Percent, and deportation to the ranks of the Analogs, with no access to electricity, running water, or even humanity. 
   
   
   
  The system has no flaws. Until the elusive "Ten Percent Thief" steals a single jacaranda seed from the Virtual city and plants a revolution in the barren soil of the Analog world. 
   
   
   
  Previously published in South Asia only as Analog/Virtual, The Ten Percent Thief is a striking debut by a ferocious new talent.
