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.

I wanted to love this book. I still want to love this book. It was entertaining, but I didn't learn much that I didn't already understand about the needs for a revolution or the way in which it could start. Brand is hilarious and that made it worth listening to, but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone seriously studying wealth imbalance. Plus, I don't agree with his spirituality. That wouldn't matter if it wasn't used as one of 2 primary reasons that we need a revolution. If he dropped that and instead expounded more on how a revolution could play out, this would have been fantastic.
