Fiction Marsha?  On THIS list?  Where?

Lu just finished Ben Elton's Blind Faith, and agreed with me that its a
great (but scary) read.

Like I said, it's a retelling of 1984, which isn't so much fiction as it is
social commentary and I'd say Elton's book is the same.  Only Elton, being
so much closer to the effects of the image-oriented reality-tv modern bent
of culture on our current paradigm, provides quite a twist on what sort of
hell we humans are capable of encasing ourselves within.

How can anything but fiction be so funny, and so scary at the same time?
