Download excerpt
  • "an airport book for business class" -- pre-publication reviewer
  • At the heart of the book is the point that for all human beings complain about war we also make it attractive enough that we compulsively return to, fetishize and fantasize about it.
  • What is and is not fake news? How do we know?
  • Is fake news propaganda?
  • How trustworthy are corporations?
  • How much do people rely on brands? Why? What alternatives are there?
  • Debates the fact that the Allies were all good -- saying the Nazis were bad, which they were, doesn't make us all good.
  • Asserts that WWII was directly responsible for the brand nightmare in which we currently find ourselves. For example: Are you addicted to iPhones? If you ARE, then you've been propagandized etc.
