On The Table Read Magazine, “the best entertainment eBook magazine UK“, Love Them Do by Ian Croskell imagines a future society where the teachings of The Beatles, transformed into sacred texts, serve as the sole spiritual guide, forming the foundation for a unique and hopeful human civilization.
Love Them Do
In a future ravaged by conflict and despair, humanity finds solace in an unexpected source: The Beatles.

Love Them Do, published on February 28, 2025, plunges readers into a world where the Fab Four’s music and philosophy have become the guiding light for a new, enigmatic religion. This isn’t your typical dystopian novel; it’s a witty and poignant exploration of faith, belief, and the enduring power of music to heal and inspire, all woven into a captivating tapestry of social commentary.
Told through the eyes of a skeptical novitiate studying the life of John Lennon in a “Lennonary,” the novel gently satirizes religious dogma while offering a thought-provoking vision of a society built on peace, love, and understanding.
But beneath the surface of this seemingly utopian world, a subtle unease lingers. As the novitiate delves deeper into the history of the Beatles, unraveling the mysteries behind their lyrics and their lives, they begin to question the true nature of this new faith. Are the teachings of the Fab Four truly a path to enlightenment, or do they conceal a more sinister agenda?
From the meeting of John and Paul to the release of their first hit single, “Love Me Do” (reinterpreted as a profound plea for devotion), Love Them Do reimagines the Beatles’ story as a sacred text, complete with pilgrimages to the Holy City of Liverpool and encounters with saints like Elvis Presley and Brian Epstein.
This first volume in a four-part series is a captivating blend of social commentary, philosophical musings, and Beatlemania, sure to delight fans of the band, lovers of satire, and anyone seeking a touch of intrigue and optimism in these turbulent times.
