Being in Time, described as a post-political manifesto the author Gilad Atzmon takes a controversial and at times humorous look at developments in modern politics.
Arguing that traditional concepts of the Lefts what could be and the Rights what is in political theory is obsolete, he reflects on developed nations and their ailing democracies.
Atzmon may unsettle some readers with his fixation on global Jewry and Zionism but when not distracted by this, he presents some thought-provoking insights into the manipulation of public opinion.
Born in Tel Aviv, he acquired British citizenship in 2002 and has developed a career as a jazz musician and polemical writer.
