Bill Maher è celebrato per la sua acuta satira politica e i suoi taglienti commenti sociopolitici. Il suo lavoro seziona senza timore una vasta gamma di argomenti, dall'estrema destra all'estrema sinistra, varie burocrazie, istituzioni religiose, le insidie del politicamente corretto, l'industria dell'intrattenimento e l'influenza pervasiva dei mass media. Sfidia costantemente coloro che detengono un potere politico e sociale significativo, sostenendo temi come la legalizzazione della cannabis e il matrimonio egualitario, pur supportando organizzazioni per i diritti degli animali. Maher è riconosciuto come una voce importante nella commedia contemporanea, annoverato tra i più grandi comici di stand-up di tutti i tempi.
The comedian host of Politically Incorrect draws on previously written material and the "New Rules" segments of his popular cable show, Real Time, to consider such topics as cell phones, fast food, and the agendas of conservative government figures. 250,000 first printing.

The hilarious and controversial host of HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher has written his funniest, most opinionated, and most necessary book ever—a brilliantly astute and acerbically funny vivisection of American life, politics, and culture. Some of the smartest commentary about what’s happening in America is coming from a comedian—this comedian being Bill Maher. If you want to understand what’s wrong with this country, it turns out that one of the best informed and most thought-provoking analysts is this very funny pothead. The book was inspired by the “editorial” Bill delivers at the end of each episode of Real Time. These editorials are direct-to-camera sermons about culture, politics, and what’s happening in the world. To put this book together, Maher reviewed more than a decade of his editorials, rewriting, reimagining, and updating them. Free speech, cops, drugs, race, religion, the generations, cancel culture, the parties, the media, show biz, romance, health—Maher covers it all. The result is a hugely entertaining work of commentary about American culture in the tradition of Mark Twain, Will Rogers, and H. L. Mencken.
