    About this ebook

    Wouldn't it be nice to have the world all to yourself?

     

    Ah yes. Escape from the heaviness of civilization with its conflicting and never-ending demands.  Escape from the gloom and doom of too much reality with not enough power to change it.

     

    Solitude, this is what is needed.

     

    Perhaps, in a cabin in the woods? No other humans to bother you. Nothing but nature, and all things basic and wild.

     

    This is what is needed in these times of angst and apocalypse. This is what is necessary when there is nothing but bone-wearying doomsday and mania threatening to strangle your soul at every frenetic turn.

     

    The alignment of the heavens is coming, and the paradigm change has been written in the universe.

     

    The fate of solitude is waiting for you, with its comforting solace.

     

    Time to get away from it all, yes?

     

    Wouldn't it be nice to have the world all to yourself?
