In 2023 it is seven years since the referendum and the prospect of leaving the European Union feels as far away as ever. Across the UK the ideologies of the opposing sides have hardened, with those media-labelled 'Positives' who voted Yes to leaving clashing with civilians dismissed as 'Negative' because they said No in 2016.

Now a 'Party for Change' has come to power, promising to deliver Brexit whatever the cost. Boosted by this supposed progress toward the restoration of sovereignty, fresh optimism pervades proud Englishmen like 68 year-old Ian Freeman. Ian is inspired to start a diary, intending to record his nation's emancipation alongside the travails of an ailment-ridden man with a problematic family life in a typical suburban town.

But when a newly-installed populist is apparently targeted by 'Negative terrorists' a nationwide crackdown on pro-EU sentiment gets underway. Now Ian finds himself embroiled with state-backed 'Local Action Groups'; undertaking the government's dirty work for them to turn neighbour against neighbour. Meanwhile, in the far future, Ian's lost manuscript is recovered by a marginalised US academic who is not what he seems...

A speculative fiction close enough to real events to be horribly plausible, 'The Gestalt Switch' explores how propaganda can convince a prosperous country to embrace intolerance and mass murder.
