Book excerpt: Clive, our protagonist, is a man caught in the throes of midlife ennui. His days are filled with the predictable rhythms of spreadsheets, office gossip, and a constant gnawing feeling that life is passing him by. But Clive, like many of us, finds solace in routine, in the predictable order of things. And so, when the world throws its seemingly random chaos at him in the form of a poorly organized queue, he's not just annoyed; he's downright disturbed. Fueled by a mixture of exasperation and a misplaced sense of righteousness, Clive embarks on a mission to educate the masses on the proper etiquette of queuing. He believes, with the conviction of a man who's watched too many documentaries about the importance of order, that everyone can benefit from his profound knowledge. The problem is, everyone else seems to be having a perfectly fine time embracing the inevitable chaos. As Clive's quest for queueing perfection unfolds, we are treated to a series of hilarious and often surreal encounters. He clashes with the blissfully oblivious, the perpetually impatient, and even a few members of the "flash mob" fraternity, who seem to view queuing as an opportunity for spontaneous performance art. But amidst the laughter, there's a deeper message to be found. Clive's journey is not just about the absurdity of our societal norms. It's about the human need for connection, the struggle to find meaning in a world that often feels chaotic and unpredictable. It's about letting go of control and embracing the unexpected, even if it means standing in a queue that seems to stretch into eternity.
