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?

Another wonderful concept from the mind of Ben Elton. Not exactly original, very Orwellian in the theme of 1984. Enjoyable though.

There are many parallels to be drawn, both from things and deeds in the past and, chillingly, in some parts of the world today.

Chilling Tale that Runs Parallel to Reality

This should be required reading and made into a movie. The irony of that is not lost on me.

A 1984 rip off, Trafford is Winston, Sandra-Dee replacing Julia. A good but stolen story. Smiles at times. Very good narration.

I’ve read this before by George Orwell

Came to this from Ben’s latest one Identity Crisis. It was no match for that. This one is about 10 years older so the aspects of social media is not the same as today so it’s dated. Putting that aside I couldn’t get into it. Well read tho.

Interstate idea but couldn’t get into it.
