A book review from me in a long time. I take time out to review 'God's Debris'  by Scott Adams. Hey, wait, haven't I heard that name somewhere. Well, it is the very person who is ever too famous for Dilbert comics. There is no comparison to the humorous office politics he brings out in Dilbert, in this book. 

This book involves no direct satire,  but it does, in the course of its description, scoff at some of the very well established notions about God. 
Also he offers no reference to any religion, rather it is a serious attempt at going beyond religion trying very much to be in the practicality of things. In my opinion, he offers explanations which can be appreciated by the atheists, agnostics and believers in God alike. He talks about God in terms of probability, statistics and other scientific facts.
"How in the 'God'damned world?" you might say. That is what is so refreshing about it. 

It isn't a non-fiction book, and is not very boring, because it is all of 144 pages.

Adams himself spells out in his book, that "The target audience for God’s Debris is people who enjoy having their brains spun around inside their skulls." So, how many of us here want to go on a merry-go-round? 
People who are game for it can attempt to read this ebook, which is to the advantage of us e-bibliophiles, very freely available.

I've read this book too. There's a sequel, IIRC. I liked the book very much, but it's also got hypnotism, priming etc. (psychological aspects) - Adams himself states this in the next book.
