About this ebook

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.

Ratings and reviews

I've been afraid to finish this book since I began reading it because I knew that once I'd finished, I would have to act. Let the Revolution begin (Even though it's already begun and we need only find where it's been happening all along and join in!).

I wouldn't have guessed Russell to be as smart as he is. He explains just how everything from the economy to societies expectations of true freedom is out of sync in a smart and funny way.

Russel brand tells us all what we know but for some reason ignore. He states the screwey ways we all live and how idiotic it is , insanity comes to mind.
