Blind Faith (Ben Elton)

Another good read by Elton, who proves once again to be reliably funny and dyspeptic. The theme itself is nothing new, and was visited much more brilliantly by Orwell in 1984 - that said, Orwell's masterpiece was a work of fiction, which this book is not, and this makes it all the more disturbing. There is more to Elton than just the public entertainer we know, and he clearly has a gift for social satire. Which gets me thinking that some of his books may well pass down in the history of 20th/21st century litterature and end up in school programs in a not-so-distant future...
