Be the dissent you wish to see in the world

Mark Thomas spent an entire year living provocatively. From successful campaigns against multinationals, to arts and crafts with porn mags; from annoying estate agents, to raising cinema workers' wages - as a comedian and campaigner he stopped at nothing.

The Acts were sometimes bold, sometimes surreal. Many brought about change and others were done for the sheer hell of it. Whether at the gates of the Saudi Arabian embassy or the checkout at Tesco - people reacted with laughter, shock and outrage - sometimes all of the above.

100 Acts of Minor Dissent makes for dangerously inspiring reading if you're searching for creative ways to challenge injustice.
