Imagine a world where everyone knows everything about everybody. Where 'sharing' is valued above all, and privacy is considered a dangerous perversion.Trafford wouldn't call himself a rebel, but he's daring to be different, to stand out from the crowd. In his own small ways, he wants to push against the system. But in this world, uniformity is everything. And even tiny defiances won't go unnoticed.Ben Elton's dark, savagely comic novel imagines a post-apocalyptic society where religious intolerance combines with a sex-obsessed, utterly egocentric culture. In this world, nakedness is modesty, independent thought subversive, and ignorance is wisdom. A chilling vision of what's to come? Or something rather closer to home?

Ugh. Felt like I was being bashed over the head with the story.
I love the way Ben Elton writes. He is always very entertaining and there is a constant element of sarcasm and irony. Blind Faith didn't appeal to me as much as some of his other novels, moreso for the subject matter, but I found that the writing style was so good that I couldn't put the book down. ...
3.5... complicated book. I really loved it overall, but had some twists that were just...wow.
