PEERING THROUGH A LOOKING GLASS

Not unlike Alice in Lewis Carroll’s THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS AND WHAT ALICE FOUND THERE, we Curious Alice’s have the opportunity to peer through a mirror of today and tomorrow’s society, and get a glimpse of the results of our current, tumultuous times. And, like our increasingly polarized society, it’s a vision some will embrace, while other’s likely revile.

I wrote THE EDGE OF MADNESS inspired by many interlocking though often seemingly incongruent and quixotic events happening in our contemporary world, wondering how, based on the premises of science-driven futuring (SCI-FU), the more distant future might look, and what the unique challenges that particular coming-of-age generation would likely face. Interested? Doff your clothes (SCI-FU predicts that people will prefer meeting unclothed for security reasons if no other), and if you’re rich enough, don some mono-molecular flack and a shimmer suit, put on your CandyShades and breathe a breath of ContraSpray before descending from your 900th floor condo to a world teeming with new social technologies, where the “culturally natural” landscape constantly inspires “culturally natural” religions, many extensions of Wicca. A world where hot azuki replaces coffee, where doors and elevators talk to their “clients” in voices designed to be most psychologically effective. Where storefronts whisper about products and sales opportunities uniquely suited to the passerby.
