"Memory is a staple of this book - memory in a time of organised forgetting: of saturating pseudo-information and the truth inverted. In 2009, President Obama stood before an adoring crowd in Prague and promised to help 'make the world free from nuclear weapons'. This was front-page news. Obama has since approved plans for an arsenal of nuclear weapons costing $350 billion, an all-time record. This is not news".
