The real evil in society isn't fascism, communism, the devil, nuclear holocaust or fat-free ice cream. It's Big Business, and even worse, Big Business behind a television show. Such is the plot of the novel Baker's Dozen, in which industrial superpower GIA decides to launch a TV program, "The Individuality Show." The evil company conceives of the program as a public forum in which individuals can vent their anger and as a vehicle for "attracting--appealing to, reaching--a different band on the vast spectrum of hatred and paranoia." Once reeled in by the opportunity to have their say, the hope is that they can be brainwashed and told to march in line. Can you say "Rush Limbaugh"?
