I've decided to make Such Little Accident: British Democracy and Its Enemies available as a free download. Not sure for how long, but the UK election means that the issues discussed are now very urgent, and I am anxious for as many people to read this as possible.

Here is the blurb:

“When the people shall have nothing more to eat,” said Rousseau, “they will eat the rich.” But the rich are rather good at getting the poor to eat each other instead. In this provocative novella-length essay, Mike Robbins looks at how the British electoral system, social media, bullying by business, and a growing gap between rich and poor have led to deep fissures in British society. These have been exploited by those with an agenda of their own. As a result, democracy is now fragile. To repair it, we must look hard at the way information cycles through our society, and how our opinions are formed.
