Exciting new science fiction title by Charles V. Banks. Gullerville. Coming soon.
In the future a new world exists where citizens live in isolated, cell-like worlds where they have every need and desire fully catered for in order to survive completely alone.
Immunised from notions of personal contact, and with no experience of 'being with others' , George Winstanley starts to question what the politicians, scientists and philosophers have long told Gullervillians is sacrosant - that to live with others is impossible, that people are bound by codes and rules of separation and privacy as of necessity.
Man is no longer thought of as the 'political animal' or as having to live in a state of co-existence in Gullerville. There is no religion in Gullrerville, only Duration and the laws of duration. In Gullerville, it is duration rather than time that truly exists. Total duration repeats itself. Moments of duration are experienced but there are no clocks, no watches, nor any other forms of time devices in Gullerville.
Gullervillians know nothing of our words like 'loneliness', 'boredom' , 'anxiety', nor do they know of past, present or future.
George Winstanley will come to question these values and find out that a world once existed that was very different, where the social rules, written in stone in Gullerville, did not seem to exist, where men lived and worked together in shared communities.
Winstanley will get a chance to run from Gullerville with Serle, his Duration Warden. Together they will journey through the 'whiteness' and towards 'the community' where catastrophe awaits.
