The book opens with Matt, a slightly neurotic delegate sales executive, returning to his London office after a short holiday spent in continental Europe. He realizes that while he was on holiday he was moved to a new desk, which is a customary 'welcome back' greeting from the office management and an introduction to the not so very decent arbitrary rules of the office, where the words' meanings are devalued due to lies, half-truths and exaggerations. An attentive reader can easily discern that the rules of the office are the same rules which form the basis of the irresponsible populism of today, as we see populist leaders distorting the meaning of words, which leads to the distortion of reality itself.

The book consists of several episodes, including the death of Matt's former colleagues, a funeral with a Monty Python vibe, a presentation done by an incompetent 'expert trainer', a typical office night out, Matt's search for a new job, discussions about art and life and everything, and an argument during which the sobriquet — 'The Rabbit of Moorgate' — comes into existence.

'I like books written in a clear and honest prose, with some introspection and philosophical ideas and I wanted The Rabbit of Moorgate to have these attributes. My aim was to write a book that would be authentic, have a good flow and amuse the reader.'
