The Gods Must be Crazy, by Jamie Uys

Our story starts with a littering aviator. Luckily, he was just gracing us with his existence long enough to reveal the main catalyst of this story is a glass soda bottle.

This bottle arrives like a divine prank from the heavens, bonking its way into a quiet, unsuspecting world where life was previously running on a perfectly reasonable “no flying trash” policy.

It’s philosophy. It’s slapstick. It’s a reminder that humanity can be undone by something as simple as a soda bottle and a lack of instructions.
Come for the comedy. Stay for the existential crisis.
