The seventh Alternate Reality News Service collection features news, reviews, interviews and other journalism from other universes. One chapter of the book focuses on how the Home Universe Generator(TM), the technology that allows ordinary people to look into other universes (without actually being able to travel there), is being employed by different people around the world, including in Russia, Africa and Scotland. Another chapter focuses on the politics of the United States of Vesampucceri, which, in its universe, is the world's leading idiotocracy (rule by the stupidest).

"Completely unique, Alternative Reality Ain't What It Used to Be is one of the funniest, most compelling and just craziest books I have read since Douglas Adams first put pen to paper." (Antony Jones, Science Fiction and Fantasy Web site, on the first book in the series)
