In THE AUDACITY OF HYPE, Armando Iannucci cuts straight to the heart of the insanity and sherbet-headed nonsense of modern life.THE AUDACITY OF HYPE brings together his views on diverse subjects, ranging from wickedly funny pen portraits of the sometimes loveable, usually despicable chumps who like to think of themselves as our political elite, and their bonkers schemes to save the world that are in fact likely to do us more damage than a pile of witches, to reflections on the rise of Skype, the Kettle Chip and Boris Johnson’s hair-do, and the demise of everything we once associated with civilisation, including a transport system, language and vending machines that give you back your change. From WMD to disaster movies, from the pitfalls of ‘I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here’ to the high and mighty rhetoric of Obama, this is an absurdly entertaining and utterly indispensable collection from one of Britain’s most brilliant satirists.
