NEW YORK – Has the world really lost its mind? Bill Maher is here to help.

The satirist has a deal for “The New New Rules,” to be published by Penguin Group (USA) in November. In a statement Thursday, Penguin said the book was “filled with political riffs and a savagely funny set of new rules for preserving sanity in an insane world.”

Maher, host of HBO’s “Real Time,” wrote the best-seller “New Rules.” The new work is being billed as a follow-up.
