At the epicenter of the global financial crisis, when Iceland collapsed, Gnarr, the country's best-known comedian, thought it was the perfect time to change the register and amuse Icelanders from other strategies, becoming a full-time politician. In 2009 he founded the "Better Party" to satirize the political system of his country and launched a joke campaign, which finally did not seem so funny to the politicians of the country. In the mayoral race in the capital Reykjavik, he made outlandish proposals such as installing Jurassic Park dinosaurs in downtown parks, free towels in public swimming pools, a drug-free parliament ... and the failure of all the electoral promises of he.

But then something strange happened: the campaign began to be successful and the newcomer Best Party emerged as the winner. Gnarr thus began meeting with international leaders and was taken seriously as the mayor of a European capital. In this book Gnarr recounts how it all happened and, with admirable frankness, describes his vision of a more enlightened politics for the future. This is a parody of the world of politics that will be understood by Americans, Asians and Europeans alike.
