Ralph Nader has written a novel! And it sounds pretty wacky as only a Nader utopian society could be:

Ralph Nader has written a novel. Well, he doesn’t call it a novel–he calls it “a practical utopia.” In it, he spins a fictional vision of what might happen if the country’s super-rich got together with assorted influential people and worked to transform American culture and politics into something more to Ralph Nader’s liking.

In Mr. Nader’s tale, billionaire investor Warren Buffett is so dismayed by the ineffectual and chaotic government reaction to Hurricane Katrina that he hatches a plan to “redirect” American society. He summons a brace of moguls–Ted Turner, Barry Diller, Ross Perot and George Soros, among others–to a secret Maui location, along with such celebrities as Bill Cosby, Yoko Ono and Warren Beatty. As they confer together, they find that they all–surprise! –agree that Something Must Be Done.

Make sure you go read the rest of the article to get the full sense of the novel 🙂
Evidently, the Amazon reviewers (all 5 of them) loved it an gave it 5 stars.
