This addictive collection of outlandish hypothetical questions from an acclaimed pop-culture journalist is sure to stimulate unconventional conversations and unexpected debates at your dinner table or over your next video chat.

- You are in an unfortunate situation in which you must consider cannibalism in order to stay alive. Would you rather eat babies or elderly people?

- You are offered a Brain Pill that will make you feel 10 percent more intelligent, but you will seem 20 percent less intelligent to everyone else. Would you take the pill?

- You wake up inhabiting Bruce Springsteen's body. Your voice sounds just like Bruce's, but your musical abilities are still entirely your own. You are scheduled to perform a huge concert that night. What would you do?
