About this title

Review

'If you don't learn something useful from [Mind Bombs], you must
work at the highest level of government or for the secret services.' -- The Morning Star

'Mind Bombs is a breathtaking firestorm of ideas, mercilessly
annihilating terraces of home truths, page by relentless page. "Food for
thought" makes it sound like semolina' -- John Lloyd, creator of QI

`Garrick Alder is a sharp cookie who writes well ... fascinating,
funny and disturbing. If this doesn't rattle the bars of your intellectual
cage, nothing will' -- Robin Ramsay, editor of Lobster

Synopsis

Most of us think we pretty much know how the world works. Most of us don't. If you leave this book lying around you can be sure that someone will pick it up - and that someone will have their perspective explosively altered...From science and technology, to politics and society, "Mind Bombs" is an introduction to the world we actually live in. It's a pretty strange place.
