F-Day: The Second Dawn Of Man [Press Release]
The long-awaited debut novel from Irish musician and seasoned social activist Colin R. Turner, F-Day: The Second Dawn Of Man is now available in paperback and Kindle on Amazon. F-Day follows the dramatic adventures of Karl Drayton, a successful young businessman whose increasing disillusionment with the world leads him to question the very modus operandi of society itself – money.
Inspired by a growing undercurrent of movements who envision a better world without money, Karl creates an ‘F-Day Clock’, counting down the minutes and seconds to Free Day, then soon finds himself hurled into the international arena as spokesman for a whole new way of living – an Open Economy of free access and collaboration.
His radical alternative vision takes him on a journey across the world, meeting like-minds, and finally to the one place on Earth where his new philosophy might have a chance – Iceland.
Narrowly averting their own domestic catastrophe, Icelanders, with their pioneering spirit and self-sufficiency, eventually become the first nation to adopt the open economic system, becoming a template for the world to follow…
F-Day: The Second Dawn Of Man charts the countdown of events from the beginning of Karl’s journey, to F-Day – or ‘Free Day’ – the day the world’s greatest economic powers embrace freedom as a natural right.
Within a week of its release, F-Day: The Second Dawn Of Man immediately entered the Kindle Top 100, reaching #49, and the book has already received consistent five star reviews from customers. (comments below)
Author Colin R. Turner describes the book as a ‘mainstream political thriller loaded with a powerful message.’ Having spent over three years working on the book, Colin believes the time has never been more ripe for this story.
He explains, “It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that we’re doing a lot of things wrong in our society. Everywhere you look – greed, corruption, crime, poverty, financial stress, our health system, climate change – all of it links back to the way we do business on this planet. This simply must change.
“The existing political structure is too slow to catch up with the rising waves of change that are coming. Almost everyone you speak to today senses that big changes are coming to our way of life. You only have to dip into social media for a few minutes to see how the tide is turning.
“The old control systems like religion and media are being abandoned as people are becoming more educated and connected. The same will happen with nations and Governments too. Unless the people who have influence today radically adapt, they too will be washed away, and rightfully so.”
“I chose Iceland as the setting for the book because I believe Iceland’s history of doing things differently and their peaceful spirit is a shining example to the rest of the world. They have no standing army. They are almost energy self-sufficient. The Open Economy I described in the book is a very real possibility there. Having lived there some years ago, there is something strongly magnetic about the place and the people. It pulls you in.”
Colin is no stranger within the global Open Economic movement. He is the founder of The Free World Charter – an online document that defines ten basic principles for operating a better, more sustainable society, and which has almost 55,000 members worldwide. He is also the founder of HonorPay – an open awards and appreciation network, and, in 2013, Colin was the subject of a BBC and AFP story regarding his attempt to travel the world without using money.
Colin concludes, “Will we ever see a real F-Day? Most definitely. In fact, the F-Day Clock already exists, and we have set the countdown to July 2040. It’s a moveable date, which we hope to make more accurate as time goes on.
“The world can change in a heartbeat. The system proposed in F-Day: The Second Dawn Of Man can work today. It only requires the slightest shift in priorities to create the more compassionate and abundant society where no-one gets left behind. There’s no technology required. It’s just a decision away.”
