“An interesting experiment of a book – creating the future by writing a rant from a disillusioned London taxi driver.
Time shifts between modern day where Dave has a relationship which goes wrong, he becomes estranged from his wife and banned from seeing his son. Skip to the future 500 in the year of ‘Our Dave’ where a society has been formed based on the ranting of modern day Dave.
Its taken me a year to read it and I’m glad its finished. I met Will Self and promised him I wouldn’t give up after he said it would get easier, it didn’t but I did. The tricky part is the futuristic mockney…my advise is to read it out loud.
Score 7/10
