John Hodgman—bestselling author, The Daily Show's "Resident Expert," minor television celebrity, and deranged millionaire—brings us the third and final installment in his trilogy of Complete World Knowledge.

In 2005, Dutton published The Areas of My Expertise, a handy little book of Complete World Knowledge, marked by the distinction that all of the fascinating trivia and amazing true facts were completely made up by its author, John Hodgman. At the time, Hodgman was merely a former literary agent and occasional scribbler of fake trivia. In short: a nobody.

But during an interview on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, an incredible transformation occurred. He became a famous minor television personality. You may ask: During his whirlwind tornado ride through the high ether of minor fame and outrageous fortune, did John Hodgman forget how to write books of fake trivia? The answer is: Yes. Briefly. But soon, he remembered!

And so he returned, crashing his Kansas farmhouse down upon the wicked witch of ignorance with More Information Than You Require, a New York Times bestseller containing even more mesmerizing and essential fake trivia, including seven hundred mole-man names (and their occupations).

And now, John Hodgman completes his vision with That Is All, the last book in a trilogy of Complete World Knowledge. Like its predecessors, That Is All compiles incredibly handy made-up facts into brief articles, overlong lists, and beguiling narratives on new and familiar themes. It picks up exactly where More Information left off—specifically, at page 596—and finally completes COMPLETE WORLD KNOWLEDGE.

Look out for John Hodgman's latest book, Vacationland, available from Viking in Fall 2017.

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

John Hodgman is a writer, comedian, and actor. He is the author of three New York Times bestselling books—The Areas of My Expertise, More Information Than You Require, and That Is All. After an appearance to promote his books on The Daily Show, he was invited to return as a contributor, serving as the show’s "Resident Expert" and "Deranged Millionaire." This led to an unexpected and, frankly, implausible career before the camera. He has performed comedy for the president of the United States, at a TED conference, and in a crypt in Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York. Finally, he is the host of the popular Judge John Hodgman podcast, in which he settles serious disputes between real people, such as "Is a hot dog a sandwich?" and "Should we tell our children the TRUTH about Santa Claus?" He also contributes a weekly column under the same name for The New York Times Magazine. He is currently working on a memoir, Vacationland, which will be published in October 2017.

This book will change, but not save, your life.

This trilogy could not have been more epic had it featured enchanted jewelery and little people with a penchant for lava-wrestling.

Read That is All. Laugh as your unworthy friends are taken unawares by Ancient and Ridiculous Terrors from Beyond Reality. Of course, you are doomed as well. But hey! At least you knew what was coming! Read That is All. Why not face the end of days with a smile on your face and a smug sense of superiority? Read That is All.

There aren't categories to really describe what Hodgman has written, but "Lovecraft-ian Meta Humor Coffee Table Conversation Starters about Mortality and the End of the World" comes close.

If you're a fan of Hodgman's specific flavor of humor, this book is fantastic. Great conclusion to the trilogy. (Even better as an audiobook.)

Sit in public laugh out loud smile to yourself funny literature. Still so insightful and meditative. The pleasure of reading this book is almost of the same quality as getting a cast off after months and finally being able to really scratch your wrist. I certainly can't recommend it to anyone because that is just too big of a gamble at this stage of the game, but John Hodgman is my kind of prophet. If the World doesn't end on 21, Dec.2012 I will give him another chance to call it for sure. That is All.

the final codex

November 27, 2012

John wrote this as his final creative work before the Dec. 2012 Apocalypse. If the apocalypse does not occur, I am sure he will write more.
I was pleased to find out he was an H.P. Lovecraft fan, but disappointed that he wasted several pages with 700 names of the Elder Gods, only a few humorous. Same device as 500 hobo names in an earlier work. Useless filler to increase page count, lazy author trick.
Still a very funny book.
