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

“How do you know you’re Old School?”

What’s the difference? “Time will tell.” Just using this phrase is Old School – young people don’t need time to find out – they already know everything. It was amusing to read the conclusion of a thirty-year old; that “in his experience” – young people had better ideas than old people. Young people think old people are fools. Old people know young people are fools. In a humanity that only seems able to learn the hard way; maybe those decades of experience are more important than authorities admit — Old age may not bring wisdom: but you certainly get to know what bullshit is.
