Blind Faith 
This book reminded me a lot of Orwell's 1984, however the society depicted was a lot more ridiculous than that in 1984 (the book IS a black comedy though). A little predictable at times, but still a good read.The world depicted is in the near future (say 50 years) after global warming has flooded a lot of the world - the book is set in London, which is now a series of islands. Basically a perverted form of religion has taken over, where nothing is private and everything must be shared with
Are you wondering what the disadvantages could be of a world with no privacy and where sharing is imperative? Then you should definitely read this book. Blind faith describes one of the futures that could happen to mankind as a result of the evolution of technology.

why can't i give a book zero stars? this book gets zero stars. maybe even negative stars.also i would like to add that if you think this book is good you should try to read better books so that you have some sort of standard of comparison. seriously: people are probably talking about this behind your back.

Narration In Pursuance Of Books Blind Faith
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?Point Based On Books Blind Faith

Part 1984, part Fahrenheit 451, Blind Faith is set in a dystopian post global warming future. A future where everyone's lives are permanently on the Web and where the cults of self and celebrity along with a deeply intolerant religious state create a nightmare world.The idea is good, though Elton's satire is used more as a club than a rapier and you do rather feel that the message could have been driven home just as effectively with a little more subtlety.This book reminded me a lot of Orwell's 1984, however the society depicted was a lot more ridiculous than that in 1984 (the book IS a black comedy though).
