Burn Down The Children's Playground (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This unusual fantasy novel is aimed at the heart of humankind's conscience. Using the words and thoughts of seven very different historic figures, it attempts to elbow the reader in their ribs in order to get them to rethink their priorities. The protagonist, simply known as 'the old man', meets each historic character one by one, as they enter a boardroom conjured up by the old man's imagination as a result of an acid trip.

A G7 meeting then commences, in which each participant presents their thoughts on a particular social or political problem, resulting in a checklist of potential solutions.

Furthermore, this psychedelic experience allows the old man to witness at first-hand how his grandchildren, and their descendants, may suffer, if he continues his life without attempting to make changes. His mind is made up: he will become an activist in order to help change politics and attitudes by peaceful means. He will start by writing a book (this is it!) and a website to collect additional support.

In around 100 pages this book contains comments on many socio-political problems and attempts, with the help of seven historic characters from the present, past and future, to find possible solutions.

Autorenporträt

Born in 1948, in the East End of London Kevin shunned school but due to an inexplicable ability in maths he got a job in IT and stayed in that career until retirement. In between, he backpacked across Africa and Asia. He then raised, thanks to his wife, a wonderful family, which is now enriched with in-laws and four grandchildren. Then he got old, well, at least mathematically! It was the future of his kids and grandkids that caused him to write his book "Burn Down The Children's Playground".
