<p><b>Ive lived through ten iOS upgrades on my Mac and thats just something I use to muck about on Twitter. Surely capitalism is due an upgrade or two?</b></p><p>When Caitlin Moran sat down to choose her favourite pieces for her new book she realised that they all seemed to join up. Turns out, its the same old problems and the same old ass-hats.</p><p>Then she thought of the word Moranifesto, and she knew what she had to do</p><p>This is Caitlins engaging and amusing rallying call for our times. Combining the best of her recent columns with lots of new writing unique to this book, Caitlin deals with topics as pressing and diverse as 1980s swearing, benefits, boarding schools, and why the internet is like a drunken toddler.</p><p>And whilst never afraid to address the big issues of the day such as Benedict Cumberbatch and duffel coats Caitlin also makes a passionate effort to understand our 21st century society and presents us with her Moranifesto for making the world a better place.</p><p>The polite revolution starts here! Please.</p>

She would like to be remembered as a very sexual humanitarian.</p>
