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.
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. . . January 15, 2022.
When authorities are forced to give up silence: they give out excuses. And while stonewalling and ghosting are the bureaucratic “go-tos” of government regulators and policy makers – excuses provide a spectrum of fallback defenses for every occasion. There is the “ambushed” excuse: “The results were surprising and totally unexpected” – the “aggressive” excuse: “You don’t understand the complexities/technicalities/economics of the situation” to the “defensive”: “It’s a political/personal attack” and the “plaintive”: “I didn’t know anything about it” excuse.
But no matter what their excuse: Today’s unchecked government bureaucracy is like a hydra of hyenas — ripping the carcass of our Constitution.
