Query: Tedious anti-corporate diatribe

PopCoScarlett Thomas is a talented writer, as she proved with The End of Mr. Y, but PopCo was sadly disappointing. This book is an anti-corporate diatribe disguised as a novel, which makes it almost as dishonest as the corporations it castigates. Perhaps she was striving for social commentary, but all she manages to do is preach, on and on. Ms. Thomas totally loses what begins as a promising story to an obsession with PETA-style anti-globalism. 2/3 of the way through, it bogs down into a tedious rant from which even sympathy for the issues does not save it. Worse yet, after hundreds of pages of proselytizing, the reader is offered as 'solutions' things like 'pour Coke on your keyboard'. Oh Please. Apparently, these characters are too busy being 'outsiders' to try logical routes such as 'government' for their causes.
