Belief in Britain today is not encouraged at the pulpit, witnessed by decreasing congregation sizes, but in the psychic booth, where ordinary people believe they are creating a direct communication with the dead and their future. The priests of belief are not preaching on Sunday mornings, but every day of the week in psychic shops and on premium rate telephone lines. Belief has been decentralised and contracted out to the psychic sector.
The Psychic Tourist – A Voyage into the Curious World of Predicting the Future is a tale of one man’s attempts to question his belief in psychics and astrologers following a prediction of his sister’s death.
In a book that answers the unanswerable about what science, psychics, and crystal balls can reveal about tomorrow, William Little lifts the lid on the most sought-after destination of them all – the future. Through a rollercoaster ride of mystics, mishaps and mayhem, Little even discovers uncomfortable facts that make him reassess his own beliefs. In the vein of Jon Ronson and Louis Theroux, THE PSYCHIC TOURIST will appeal in the way it offers an unparalleled insight into an endlessly fascinating subject.

Too right. Got the book in the post last week - psychic Amazon post it out before it's been released. Having a lot of fun with it - I ain't even tried to predict the final page.
