Zimbabwe: a country in turmoil. Speculation that the Zim dollar would be linked to the SA Rand was denied (thankfully), but the most original response to the problem has been suggested: overthrow the government and take Zimbabwe on as another province of South Africa. It has a rich environment in terms of mineral deposits, mines, farmland, and so forth. It's original and thought-provoking.

Reading the news these days, it's hard to believe that people wanting the death of a British author for insulting their invisible friend, have actually bothered reading the book in the first place.
