Blind Faith: Ben Elton

Here is Ben Elton's dark vision of a post-apocalyptic society - where religious intolerance combines with a confessional, sex-obsessed, egocentric culture to create a world where nakedness is modesty and everyone knows everything about everybody. A world where every moment of intimacy is streamed onto a community website and what a person truly feels or believes is protected under 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. Published in 2007 and with shades of Orwell's 1984 , it would seem that society has already arrived at this point.
