Half way through the book the wall collapses, and having no job, he shoots David Bowie in Berlin after discovering he has underage groupies. The rest of the book is him being put on trial with all the teenagers and real life musicians he beat up testifying against him.

we propped up 'show don't tell' style writing/analysis to prevent the masses from having detailed and abstract thoughts/criticism.

Do you really want the alternative of "tell don't show" though, because that's how you get Atlas Shrugged's infamous 60-page John Galt speech
