Synopsis

This book uses a mix of “activity book” games and puzzles, social awareness bumper stickers, advertisements, billboards, posters and re-imagined old school videogame screenshots that deconstruct the impenetrable façade of government policy making, and help promote critical thinking through interactive play.
A unique book for hungry minds.

bio

Author Biography
If someone were to ask you to do something; if there were even the smallest chance of it injuring your child – you would say; “No, I won’t gamble with the life of my child.” But when technologies inherently risk all life on earth – you are willing to take that small chance; for a small benefit. If words like “Extinction,” and “Apocalypse” are written too big for anything but videogames and movies: you need to step back a bit. We now have the power to do incalculable things — and we have authorities who are eager to use that power. Government isn’t impersonal; it’s personal. It’s a matter of life and death. . .

Author Insight

“Come out, come out, wherever you are!”

The government push-back to transparency is as old as authority – Bureaucracy. It’s buried in transcripts, broken into sections, indexed esoterically, in part everywhere; and in whole nowhere — it’s a FOIL request for each document – a Black Box policy process where only the results are viewable. • When I enquired at the Town office about the status of our hamlet’s petition to NY State for a speed limit – I was told it would take six months to a year; and we would only know if they put up signs. • It’s government by the book; by Kafka.
