I chanced upon the book Sense & Semblance: An Anatomy of Superficiality in Modern Society on 31/05/08 in an Oxfam bookshop.
What can I say? It is simply an amazing book!! Remington ‘pulls no punches’ in expressing his views, most of which I agree with, on the causes and extent of the social decay and depravity in society.
Any one who truly cares about where society is going should read this book. Better still, this book should serve as a catalyst for a broad-based discussion on where exactly we’re going as a nation.

The book Sense & Semblance: An Anatomy of Superficiality in Modern Society is not just excellent, it is a master piece!! Remington Norman ‘pulls no punches’ in expressing very incisive analysis on the causes and extent of social decay, warped sense of values and depravity in modern society.
Anyone who sincerely cares about how cheap/worthless human life has become; anyone wondering how and why money, fame and material possessions, acquired by whatever means, are the things now cherished; anyone concerned about and who wants to change the materialistic, selfish, ignorant, egocentric and depraved mindset in present day society should read this book.
It is said that ‘The truth is bitter’, but in this book the truth is sweet.
