Alright here's one for the SF lovers!

A college age patron wants a book he read a few years ago when he was
younger. It was supposed to be a kind of satirical/SF account of a Disney
Like corporation that takes control of the world. Like a Disney/1984 kind
of thing. We're working on this but aren't feeling lucky. Anyone know this
book?

I'm pretty sure that it is Pirates of the Universe by Terry Bisson. I
reviewed it at: <A HREF="http://www.mancon.com/genre/bwv1n4.html#10an">http://www.mancon.com/genre/bwv1n4.html#10an</A>
