"A Guide to the Perplexed" (originally in Hebrew) is a novel written by Gilad Atzmon in 2001.

The novel is presented in the form of unfinished memoirs of one Professor Gunther Wünker, born in Ramat Gan, Israel in the 1960s, an anti-Zionist and the founder of the philosophical school of 'Peeoplogy' (the science of peep-show voyeurism). The novel takes place in a fictitious near future period, some 40 years after the state of Israel ceases to exist. The original Hebrew version of the novel was nominated for Israel's 2003 Geffen Award for science fiction.
