Elton, B: Identity Crisis

Why are we all so hostile? So quick to take offence? Truly we are living in the age of outrage. A series of apparently random murders draws amiable, old-school Detective Mick Matlock into a world of sex, politics, reality TV and a bewildering kaleidoscope of opposing identity groups. Lost in a blizzard of hashtags, his already complex investigation is further impeded by the fact that he simply doesn¿t `get¿ a single thing about anything anymore. Meanwhile, each day another public figure confesses to having `misspoken¿ and prostrates themselves before the judgement of Twitter. Begging for forgiveness, assuring the public ¿that is not who I am¿. But if nobody is who they are anymore - then who the f**k are we? Ben Elton returns with a blistering satire of the world as it fractures around us. Get ready for a roller-coaster thriller, where nothing - and no one - is off limits.
