Globalism endowed us with McDonald's, 'the world's local bank?, English football teams without English players and an irrepressible desire for more as enough is never good enough ? the blanket is always too short. Our personal world as much as our social and political realities seem to have blithely surrendered to the madness of a civilization which views anything from corporate greed and global warming to military adventures and religious fundamentalism as normal as a door banging in the wind. The destructive capabilities of our age have run too far ahead of our wisdom. However, the process is not irreversible if our thinking can postpone its retirement. In Bed with Madness is 'a well-argued, powerful and profound indictment of contemporary culture?, stylishly written ? a reviewer said he would have bought it just for its humour!
