From Nathan Rabin, author of Weird Al: The Book (with Al Yankovic), former head writer of The A.V. Club, and the man who coined the phrase Manic Pixie Dream Girl, comes the ultimate parody of the trope, a spoof about a man in love with an evil robo-MPDG.

Failure to Launch is a light-hearted, non-fiction tour of (so far!) unrealized technological and societal advances promised in years past, but which never came to be. What could have been, but wasn't.
