Fun Frolics and Fandangos with Satire

<p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(33 37 41 1)>This irreverently satirical book pokes fun at the bureaucracy rampaging across quango-land; the vagaries of office life with its endless meetings counter-productive wellness programmes and pointless motivational events; the absurdity of many corporate visions and missions; the comicality of jargon beloved by officialdom; the pomposity of inflated job titles; political correctness gone mad; and the wholesale takeover of our daily lives by digital technologies including artificial intelligence.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(33 37 41 1)>The book also attempts to defuse - albeit in a light-hearted way - some of the usage booby-traps strewn across the English language.</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(33 37 41 1)>We laugh at the comical name and farcical purpose of the organisation parodied in the book at its absurd hierarchy and taxpayer-enabled profligacy at the pointlessness of its frenzied working practices at the abundance of its committees with their ridiculous names and remits and at its surreal rebranding exercise.</span></p><p></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(33 37 41 1)>We also chuckle at the highly inventive names of the book's protagonists and gasp in disbelief at the linguistic ineptitude of the organisation's editorial team and at the ludicrous phraseology used by the mocked bureaucrats in their countless policies directives rules regulations edicts decrees statutes precepts schedules memoranda and the like.</span></p><p></p>
