Good idea, your direction. But it seems to me that the article still don't explain if the book, which I didn't hear about before (I don't live in an English-speaking country), is a sci-fi novel or a research work.
If it is the later case, the article doesn't show what the book presents as the probable causes of the predicted trap, and the relation between those causes and globalization.
You know, I'm always surprised that many meople demonize globalization as the scapegoat and source of all evils, while for me it is a step towards mankind unity and democracy (I did the democratic globalization article), away from nation-states dominance which was the main source of massacres, selfishness and divisions in history.

Yardcock, I find it questionable that you have merged the 20-80 Society page into this one. The book was written in 1997 and it references a conference organized by the Gorbachev Foundation in 1995. As far as I know the terms 80-20 society and tittytainment appeared first in this coference, therefore they are independent from the book and they deserve their own page (it can be argued that tittytainment does not need its own page and it can be merged with the 20-80 society).
The result of a quick google search (look for Gorbachev's name on the pages):
