We have been lied to,
told there’s no alternative,
no choice and that we don’t deserve any better. In his new book,
Russell Brand destroys the illusory facade of the system
as amusingly and deftly as he annihilates Morning Joe anchors,
Fox News fascists and BBC stalwarts.
We all know the system isn’t working. In
this laugh out loud funny book Russell hilariously lacerates the straw men and paper tigers of our conformist times and presents a
vision
for a fairer, sexier society that’s fun and inclusive, with the help of experts as diverse as Thomas Piketty and George Orwell. 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”. Here he explores how the Revolution
will work, what our aims are and why you should participate
right now.
