His book "Revolution", in which Brand develops his earlier ideas, was published by Random House in October 2014 and received much publicity. Nick Cohen of "The Observer" called Brand's writing "atrocious: long-winded, confused and smug; filled with references to books Brand has half read and thinkers he has half understood." On the other hand, Steve Richards in "The Independent" commented: "Brand writes and speaks with verve, words flowing effortlessly and musically. The contrast with the tame wooden prose of elected politicians is marked."
