Shepherd Mead

    Shepherd Mead byl ironií osudu pronásledován úspěchem. Navzdory svým ostrým společenským kritikám si získal ještě větší slávu a úspěch, což ho nakonec přimělo k odchodu do Evropy. Tam se plně věnoval psaní, kde zkoumal ironii, lidskou povahu a společenské absurdity. Jeho dílo je charakteristické bystrým postřehem a humornou nadsázkou, s níž odhaluje pokrytectví a směšnost moderního života.

      Focusing on the world of public opinion, this book explores the significance of polls and how businesses rely on them to gauge consumer sentiment. Central to the narrative is MacInnes, a character with an uncanny ability to predict poll outcomes without conducting any surveys. The work delves into the intricacies of perception and the influence of public opinion on corporate strategies, revealing a deeper commentary on societal values rather than the expected themes of sex or machinery.
