"Meltdown" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of excess and the consequences of poor decisions. Ben Elton takes the reader on a wild ride through the life of a City trader who experiences meteoric success, only to watch it all come crashing down during the global financial crisis. The most notable aspect of this story is its realistic portrayal of a society fixated on money and the trappings of wealth. If you enjoy character-driven tales that explore the complexities of the human psyche, "Meltdown" is a must-read.
