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.
Interesting, informative and intellectually stimulating

I like Russell Brand and after watching his year long exercise on YouTube, The Trews, I knew I'd be very interested in the book.
The book has touches of his wicked funny humor along side his progressive, people first, "political" ideals. The facts and ideas in the book are well researched and he had consulted with numerous figures who are "experts" in various subjects to give "weight" to his statements/ideas.
Luckily the book is much better written than this review.
