Book Description | I've lived through ten iOS upgrades on my Mac - and that's just something I use to muck about on Twitter. Surely capitalism is due an upgrade or two?' When Caitlin Moran sat down to choose her favourite pieces for her new book she realised that they all seemed to join up. Turns out, it's the same old problems and the same old ass-hats. Then she thought of the word `Moranifesto', and she knew what she had to do... This is Caitlin's engaging and amusing rallying call for our times. Combining the best of her recent columns with lots of new writing unique to this book, Caitlin deals with topics as pressing and diverse as 1980s swearing, benefits, boarding schools, and why the internet is like a drunken toddler. And whilst never afraid to address the big issues of the day - such as Benedict Cumberbatch and duffel coats - Caitlin also makes a passionate effort to understand our 21st century society and presents us with her `Moranifesto' for making the world a better place. The polite revolution starts here! Please. |
Editorial Review | She is one of the most astute social commentators hitting a keyboard today ... guaranteed to brighten up anyone's life Independent, "The joy of Moran's writing lies in how she combines thoughtfulness and intelligence with proper belly laughs." Independent on Sunday, "Spiky, funny and passionate" Guardian |
