Civilization
Two forms of Civilization.
This MS deals with the two forms of Civilization we have on this planet at this time - Democratic Free-market Capitalism and Authoritarian State-directed Capitalism. The objective perspective taken in regard to presenting these forms, will, I have no doubt, infuriate many readers. However, in these fast-changing times, I’m sure a synthesis will quickly emerge. That is why this work comes in 3 versions and is not complete.
The Enchanted Lake
A family feel compelled to travel to Lock Ness, The Enchanted Lake of the Title.
The story is set in 2025 when a new and extremely deadly virus, Cover 25, has just appeared. This is a very black, ‘Black Comedy’, as 7.5 billion humans perish as ‘crispy cadavers’, only leaving 70 million humans to inhabit what eventually will be called The Enchanted Planet. Aliens from other planets are here on Earth, to witness the spectacle and also to witness an accompanying event known as the ‘Rapture’ - Mass Enlightenment.
A Knack to Know a Knave
A book of Fantasies - not all of them sexual.
Fantasies about the visual Arts - in particular about Rembrandt. But the sexual Fantasies live in a story that has poignant meaning in regard to the Author - the Knave in question. Seen as a piece of autobiography it could prove invaluable to the Reader searching for insights into This Writer.
Mr Grumles Awakes
A different kind of Cat in a different kind of universe.
Here we find a different kind of Cat in a different kind of universe - the White-hole part of our spatial dimensions in our 9-Dimension universe which consists of 3-Spatial Dimensions for the White-hole half, 3 Spatial Dimensions for the Black-hole half, 1-Dimension for Consciousness, 1-Dimension for Gravity and 1- Dimension for Time. Mr. Grumles finally pulls all of the elements of the Nature of Reality from the 9 novels together. To form a singular representation governed by the Bayesian Perspective. A truly remarkable feat which will offer the reader something concrete to dwell on.
