An interesting read, albeit one that is certainly controversial in many circles. The value of this book is that it will, hopefully, inspire conversation; I say hopefully because one of the tenets of The Trillion-Dollar Conspiracy is that there aren't enough thinkers anymore—the people who read, write, question and otherwise engage with the world around them. Hence the term "zombie" in the title, a term that is most certainly applicable in the way the author is using it.

Indeed, the zombies discussed in The Trillion-Dollar Conspiracy are very much more frightening than anything The Walking Dead dishes up. Zombies, the ones that would rather zone out and watch TV ad infinitum and vote for their favourite dancing star instead of voting for a leader for their democracy. The sort of zombie that observes unthinkingly as its freedoms are eroded and is not bothered in the least because the zombie is comforted by the pretty pictures and soothing sounds bombarding its senses 24/7.

For these reasons, and many more, The Trillion-Dollar Conspiracy is a good read because it prompts people to engage in a dialogue.

Hopefully.

If enough people read.
