Summary

"Sick of the daily barrage of Newspeak and itching to result? Do you want to take a stand, with fellow fun-loving humans, against the forces of globalization? Then this is the book for you." "Here you'll find fifty-two tried and tested actions, one for every week of the year. Each includes a description, a rationale, and an inventory of what you'll need to pull it off. These actions are heavy on drama, theatre, and media-friendly visuals. They're meant to inspire you to act, and to provoke you to think about what's possible."--Jacket.
