Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Richly imagined and darkly comic, Things We Didn't See Coming follows a single man over three decades as he tries to survive in an increasingly savage apocalyptic world that is at once utterly fantastic and disturbingly familiar.nbsp;Here, coming-of-age is complicated not only by family troubles and mercurial love affairs, but treacherous weather, unstable governments, pandemic, and technology run amuck.

What we know now -- The theft that got me here -- Dry land -- Cake walk -- Uses for vinegar -- The forest for the trees -- Predisposed -- The profit motive -- Best medicine.
