  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, Public Affairs, 2004
  • Description

    In Idiot Proof, columnist Francis Wheen brilliantly evokes the key personalities of the post-political era?including Princess Diana and Deepak Chopra, Osama bin Laden and Nancy Reagan’s astrologer?while lamenting the extraordinary rise in superstition, relativism and emotional hysteria over the past quarter of a century. In turn comic, indignant, outraged and just plain baffled by the idiocy of it all, Idiot Proof is a masterful depiction of the daftness of our times and a plea that we might just think a little more and believe a little less.
