Synopsis

NATIONAL BESTSELLER

We all know the system isn’t working. Our governments are corrupt and the opposing parties pointlessly similar. Our culture is filled with vacuity and pap, and we are told there’s nothing we can do: “It’s just the way things are.”
 
In this book, Russell Brand hilariously lacerates the straw men and paper tigers of our conformist times and presents, with the help of experts as diverse as Thomas Piketty and George Orwell, a vision for a fairer, sexier society that’s fun and inclusive.
 
You have been lied to, told there’s no alternative, no choice, and that you don’t deserve any better. Brand destroys this illusory facade as amusingly and deftly as he annihilates Morning Joe anchors, Fox News fascists, and BBC stalwarts.
 
This book makes revolution not only possible but inevitable and fun.

Goodreads review by Goddess on March 13, 2015

There will be many right-wingers and establishment trolls who will trash this book. They don't want you to read the message. But just ignore the writer and focus on the message - does it resonate with you? Do you feel inequality has exceeded it's limit? Does anyone really need billions to live? Why......more

Goodreads review by Joanne on November 01, 2014

When I was at university, I met a number of champagne revolutionaries, all of them articulate, theatrical, presentable and clever enough to sound convincing, especially at parties. This book - entertaining, well-written and often funny as it is - is equally convincing, and ultimately, equally toxic.......more

Goodreads review by Tariq on April 07, 2015

I think Russell Brand has presented a pretty relevant argument. All the issues he has highlighted are the ones almost completely ignored by the big media conglomerates of the world. The world opinion is slowly shifting against the rich and powerful cabals, and Russell's effort will surely help galva......more

Goodreads review by Amy on December 15, 2014

Listening to this audiobook in the car was a bit like giving a ride to a hitchhiker at the end of his gap year, his rucksack all weighed down with philosophical tracts he'd read on the beach in Thailand and his eyes aglow with the kind of idealism that goes hand in hand with never having had a job o......more
