The Book of Dave the author ponders what would happen if in 500 years from now, English society was shaped by the rantings of a 21st-century London taxi driver. The book is therefore told in two distinct parts with one being the present and the other being the distant future.
This is my first Self book that I've read and I must admit that I initially struggled with the futuristic language element. So much so that I contemplated giving up on it. However, once I got a feel for it and did not have to keep referring to the partial dictionary at the back I found the whole tale rather enjoyable if totally unbelievable. An interesting diversion.
