About this listen

As Trafford Sewell struggles to work through the usual crowds of commuters, he is confronted by the intimidating figure of his Parish Confessor. Why has Trafford not been streaming his every moment of sexual intimacy onto the community website like everybody else? Does he think he's different or special in some way? Better than his fellow man and woman? Does he have something to hide?

Imagine a world where everyone knows everything about everybody. Where what a person 'feels' and 'truly believes' is protected under the law, while what is rational, even provable is condemned as heresy. A world where to question ignorance and intolerance is to commit a Crime against Faith.

Ben Elton's dark, savagely comic novel imagines a post-apocalyptic society where religious intolerance combines with a confessional sex obsessed, self-centric culture to create a world where nakedness is modesty, ignorance is wisdom and privacy is a dangerous perversion. A chilling vision of what's to come? Or something rather closer to what we call reality?

Extremely entertaining and thought provoking! Although it was written several years back, the events of 2016 have made this book seem more relevant than ever. 1984 for the 21st century!

Brilliant but scarily poignant!

A wee bit close to the bone. I like Ben Elton's work and this also drew me. He has better out there, but this was good. Well performed and a good story. Would recommend it but it is not one of his better pieces - in my view.
He sees people and development for the future. This is taking dumbing down to the extreme.

Good and scary future!

this book is gross. it is intentionally so, which would be fine if the book balanced out more.
but the cleverness and light moments aren't enough to push back the misery and vulgarity.
well read.

1984 wannabe

I managed to get through this in about a day - absolutely loved it! an interesting take on the influence of social media and growing desire for fame

really gripping dystopian tale

Ben Elton is a master of words. Like his other books on the problems of today’s society he pushes the boundaries just far enough to warn us of what might happen if we do not think.

A dystopian view of today’s world
