The Space Merchants (Pohl/Kornbluth,1953)
''In a vastly depleted world, businesses have taken the place of governments and now hold all political power. States exist merely to ensure the survival of huge trans-national corporations. Ad agencies have become hugely aggressive and totalitarian. Through advertising, the public is constantly deluded into thinking that the quality of life is improved by all the products placed on the market. Some of the products contain addictive substances designed to make consumers dependent on them.''
Sounds familiar?
