| book description |

‘Exhilarating’ THE TIMES 'Uproarious' MAIL ON SUNDAY 'Merciless and funny' ECONOMIST 'Outrageous' SPECTATOR 'Funny, important and timely … I was laughing out loud at the same time as my blood was running cold' JOHN CLEESE What if calling someone stupid was illegal? In a reality not too distant from our own, the worst thing you can call someone is 'stupid'. Everyone is equally clever, and discrimination based on intelligence is 'the last great civil rights fight'. Exams and grades are discarded and you don't need a qualification to be a doctor. When best friends Pearson and Emory find themselves on opposing sides of this new culture war, their relationship begins to fracture. And soon, Pearson’s determination to cling onto the 'old, bigoted way of thinking' begins to endanger her job, her safety and even her family… Hilarious, deadpan and scathing, MANIA is a frighteningly plausible glimpse into what the world could become, from the pen of a master storyteller.
