From the "evil genius" behind the award-winning Google Feud website

A nearly unfiltered look at over 200 internet searches: Every time a browser autocompletes our search query, it is showing us what millions of other people all over the world are searching for. This curious collection showcases the very best of the often strange—yet 100% real—autocomplete suggestions offered up by popular search engines, compiling them into one hilarious, fascinating, and mildly disturbing volume.

• Each page contains one search and its 10 best autocomplete suggestions including the most and least common, from "Why is Ryan Gosling...eating cereal?" to "If the Earth is round...why are shoes flat?"
• Easy-to-read internet searches and playful black-and-white line art throughout
• Justin Hook is a writer and producer whose credits include Bob's Burgers, DreamWorks Dragons, and Simpsons Comics. His website Google Feud won "Best Game" at The Webby Awards and led TIME to call him an "evil genius."

Technophiles, those fascinated by the human psyche, and others who want an eye-opening laugh will be intrigued by Autocomplete: The Book.

Autocomplete shows us that we're all more alike than we think, even in our deepest, darkest internet history.
