WALKING THE EDGE OF MADNESS

The Edge of MadnessI went for my early morning (mourning) walk today and it occurred to me how all of us are walking on the edge of madness just now. The issues of today seem to be piling one on top of another, creating a sense that on one side we have the “old” world to which so many hope to return but never will, and on the other side we have darkness and the unknown. It’s like two universes touching edges. Upon which side will we end up? A past world, now more fantasy than reality, or the new world, fraught with unknown changes?

RMB (read my book): THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor and cast some light on a scientifically-based future that might well happen. Not a dystopian world. Not a Trumpian-style “money-is-the-beast” world. Not a reactionary world. A world where technology continues to progress, and humans face the opportunity to mature beyond childhood into adolescence. A time to decide individual futures, relationships and lifelines reflected back to us in the current world on a SCI-FU “mirror.”

Taking up where TOTAL MELTDOWN (Borgo/Wildside 2009) by Raymond Gaynor and William Maltese left off, NewAmerica, a shadow of its former United States of America, provides a challenging and dangerous future place for three young firebrands to live.
