Publisher Description
Imagine a world where everyone knows everything about everybody. Where 'sharing' is valued above all, and privacy is considered a dangerous perversion.
Trafford wouldn't call himself a rebel, but he's daring to be different, to stand out from the crowd. In his own small ways, he wants to push against the system. But in this world, uniformity is everything. And even tiny defiances won't go unnoticed.
Ben Elton's dark, savagely comic novel imagines a post-apocalyptic society where religious intolerance combines with a sex-obsessed, utterly egocentric culture. In this world, nakedness is modesty, independent thought subversive, and ignorance is wisdom.
A chilling vision of what's to come? Or something rather closer to home?
Customer Reviews
Blindingly accurate
This novel by one of the most accurately cynical authors of our time delivers a novel that well might be a prediction of our future as we know it. As our world steams rapidly towards a culture of celebrity and advertising saturation we would do ourselves credit to view this novel as a warning of what is just around the corner. This truly is the 1984 of our time.
