Revolution

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. "A delight to read ... Revolution is a text that will help politicise a generation."  Independent"Revolution is funny, full of charm, and engaging."  Owen Jones, Guardian"Brand puts forward a logical and witty argument ... in a shifting world where political disillusionment is the norm, Brand offers a hopeful handbook of new ways of thinking."  Twiggy Garcia, Guardian"He has a turn of phrase most of the people who criticise him in the press could only dream of."  Esquire Magazine"A manifesto for radical social change."  Big Issue
