A review by silenttardis
Utopia PR by Adam Bender

5.0

Actually when I chose to review this title I didn’t knew much about it, and you know what, is not about a utopia, in reality this is kind of the dystopian world that is all around us, when I listened to the audiobook, I related the president with my own first minister (Antonio Costa), please don’t think that the only country that have problems with their rulers is America, actually Antonio Costa when first went to power, he didn’t win the elections, he just embraced the left and that made him rise to power, he has family or have given money to almost all the Portuguese media, therefore, no one dares to speak against him, or against the PS.

The story of this book is really cleaver, it tackles the view of the PR, the real responsible s for who changes the view of the public, even a bad situation can be seen positively if someone controls what the public seems or understands. Hamner (the n is silent hahah that is almost a joke in the whole book) and his wife maria, they are both likeable characters, they just worked too much and didn’t put their lives first and during the audiobook they are forced to open their eyes and see what is more important.
I enjoyed the person reading the audiobook, he managed to keep things interesting, this book made me think about what is important, how the media throw sand into the eyes of the public and how we the public are easily distracted of what is important.

I highly recommend this audiobook, is worth of our time for sure, I got a free copy of the audiobook in NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
