    About this ebook

    ‘I take you on a journey from Big Bang to Britain in the 21st century as seen through the eyes of a fish. I attempt to explain why so many of us are living lives of deceit, dissipation and depression. These days I am suspicious of anybody who is not depressed. Over the centuries, despite all the wonders of the arts and science, human nature has remained constant. Human nature must change if there is to be a future. If you think you have right on your side the end always justifies the means. That is the real tragedy of humanity.’

    Stephen Cowey

    Stephen Cowey was born in Lower Early but when he was two years old his parents moved to the north east of Scotland where he attended school and university. He then embarked on a career in the computer industry working first in sales and then, after further study, in technical support. Desiring to broaden his horizons beyond these shores he moved to Stuttgart in 1992, spending six rewarding years learning a foreign language and culture whilst travelling throughout Europe. He settled in Glasgow in 1999 where he still lives today.
