Marx had the Communist Manifesto, Mao his Little Red Book. Now, the comedian Russell Brand, who caused a storm with his declaration that he had never voted and never would, is to issue his political manifesto on how to "establish a personal and global utopia".

His mission, said Century, publishers of his new book, was to urge readers to "discard apathy and challenge the status quo", by offering his views on "inequality, rioting, financial meltdown, and the total mistrust of politicians".

Brand attracted fierce criticism when he told Jeremy Paxman that he refused to vote because the UK's political system had created a "disenfranchised, disillusioned underclass" that it failed to serve.

During his BBC Newsnight appearance, which became one of the UK's 10 most-watched YouTube clips, he argued: "It is not that I am not voting out of apathy. I am not voting out of absolute indifference and weariness and exhaustion from the lies, treachery and deceit of the political class that has been going on for generations."

He has further espoused his views on revolution in interviews and in an essay for the New Statesman.

The author of My Booky Wook and Booky Wook 2: This Time It's Personal said of his new, as yet untitled book: "People keep asking me how the revolution will work?

"'We all want to bring down the government and establish a personal and global utopia, but how?' they ask.

"Well, in this book, I'm going to explain it. Having accrued the greatest wisdom known to man (by conducting interviews, watching DVDs, reading books, thinking and looking at the sky) I am now able to put in a simple, accessible book(y wook) the solution to internal and external turmoil. And about time, too."

The editor Ben Dunn, who bought the book, said he had been "avidly following Russell's writing and standup and have been inspired by his passionate call to arms". The book, to be published in October, would be "a massive extension of that", said Dunn.
