Synopsis

In a society obsessed with shallow celebrity and our "fifteen minutes" of fame, have we lost sight of real values? In this controversial and eye-opening book, Nick Clarke uses the lives of six celebrities to show how the media has infiltrated our national psyche. Once a proud nation, we now seem to prefer docu-soaps and fly-on-the-wall dramas to real political and social involvement. So what does this bode for the future of Britain?
