KiwiFM Audio: Wammo IV - Airheads Author Says We're Being Taken Over
KiwiFM Audio: (click here to listen) - KiwiFM's Wammo interviews Shelley Gare, author of the Triumph of the Airheads and the Retreat From Common Sense. The airheads are winning and so are airhead values. We live in a world where ignorance is not just bliss, it's celebrated. Celebrities are multiplying like tadpoles; millionaires are breeding even faster; values have gone out the window, and commonsense has run off with the pool-boy.
Soon we'll be talking about Paris Hilton for US president. Even the current president doesn't know the difference
between Sweden and Switzerland. Shelley Gare has written an insightful, sharp and funny book about how our society is
losing the plot. In a series of snapshots covering everything from the rise of the jargon-speaking HR manager to our
obsession with cushions, cafes and lifestyle, from the rise of the empty-headed It-girls to the multi-million dollar
payouts to failed CEOs, The Triumph of the Airheads looks at how our society has been turned upside-down.
