description: As Trafford Sewell struggles to work through the usual crowds of commuters he is confronted by the intimidating figure of his priest full of accusatory questions. 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? 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 Eltons dark savagely comic novel imagines a postapocalyptic 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 whats to come or something rather close to what we call reality?
