    About this ebook

    Debt, deficit, fear of the unknown; people working themselves to death, sold a dream without any chance of making it a reality.
    Poverty, the rise of corrupt and uncaring corporations to global dominance and the death of hope, of peace, of progress.

    These are the stories of the near future, when the lessons of the past are forgotten the future is bleak indeed.

    There isn't a lot to say about me. I'm just a regular guy. I'm lucky, I have a good life. I worry that perhaps others don't. Perhaps my children won't. I want people to think, to question, to understand the world around them, perhaps that's hopelessly idealistic. I guess that's just me.
