I really wasn't sure about the premise of this book. Some guy "predicts" the future, and makes a ton of money telling people what the next big thing is. When he denounces his job, everyone loves him all the more.
This book made me think of Absurdistan, or Boomsday, or any one of a number of books that are about spin and the absurdity of how society works.
This book was pretty cutting about the spin the government needs and what it's wiling to do to get it. It's absurd and predictable, but entertaining and I like the jabs at American culture. A bit too much whining.
