W<\/span>as due to be in shops next week, but browsing through Waterstones<\/a> in Trafalgar Square I came across a pile of copies. Yes, authorly pride got the better of me and I snapped them in all their (gulp) unsold glory. Today I’m starting the word of mouth trail on BBC <\/span>Radio Kent<\/a>. Yes, the journey of a thousand miles, etc. And if you want to book me for for your book club, just drop me an email – as long as I can cycle there it’s fine.<\/p>\n

As a reader of this blog, I would love to encourage you (ok, implore you) to buy a copy – it’s not a book about the media (that’s next year’s). It’s a big picture look at all the forces driving us to destruction and distraction. The hope is that by making an effort to understand them, we can do something – or things – to stop them.<\/p>\n

Why is it written by journalists? Well, isn’t that what we ought to be doing? Here’s what’s inside the cover, and if you buy one and track me down I promise to sign it. <\/p>\n
