Imagine a world where everyone knows everything about everybody Where 'sharing' is valued above all & 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 & 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 & ignorance is wisdom A chilling vision of what's to come? Or something rather closer to home?
