In a series of chapters Appleyard looks at the promises of advertising that offer a solution to your complicated life.

He meets with a series of influential people; Bill Gates, James Lovelock and Eric Schmidt all with the aim of finding out their view on where humanity is heading and how we interact in the modern world.
