About this listen

"Ideas are dangerous things. They are like drops of acid burning away our comforting certainties, making holes in the fabric of our cherished beliefs."
This often surprising collection of incendiary essays takes the reader on an intellectual journey through the myths of mass culture. It takes a piercing look at such diverse subjects as money, suicide, self-pity, art, beauty, ugliness, religion and the nature of evil and power in its various forms. It explores such questions as: is an afterlife possible? How much freedom is enough? What are celebrities for? Are the old really human?
All of the essays are filled with cutting insights and subversive humour. This is a book that sets out to combat dogmatism, whether of the left or the right. The frivolous wit on the surface does not disguise the serious purpose of ideological slum clearance.
This is a book that will delight some and infuriate others. Reading it could change the way you view the world around you.
