You might be shocked, surprised and scared, especially as there is no way off this train wreck. So hold on tight!

The world in its present politico-economic set-up is heading for an implosion. The only unknown variable is the trigger-pulling date, though it is probably already behind us and we are irremediably spinning out-of-control. Read more.

ABOUT THE BOOK

THE PLOT

Greed and the cult of Consumerism have taken over the whole world like the worst weed spreads and kills off all other plants, then the “Civilization of Capital” implodes and all hell breaks loose.

Through a choice of stories and anecdotic points of the second half of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century, 2084 takes us through a period of time where any political ideology was superseded by greed, where sociological values of respect, education, good character and decency were overtaken by the cult of appearance, the eagerness to be defined by what you have rather than what you are and do.

The economic implosion of the world then brings out an escalation in the worst of Human behaviors, as the only goal is to survive by all means. Casualties amount to seventy-five percent of the planet’s Human population.

Happily, or so to speak, in the end when things cannot possibly get any worse, the positive side of Human intelligence takes over and the World gets together for a complete re-start, as if all the events described were just like hitting a big “reset” button.

2084 does deserve its sub-title, “Don’t Be Scared, Be Prepared”…

PRAISE AND PRESS

"I urge you to read it"

“Like a sorcerer, the author employs a number of simple-seeming but sophisticated literary devices to make us see what is already there, and in the process turns commonly accepted knowledge and assumptions upside down.”

"I loved it."

“A disturbing theoretic fiction…. Provocative? Definitely. Intriguing? Incredibly. To the point? Annoyingly. Scary? Shiveringly…. But soooo entertaining, I loved it.”

"What a great read!"

“What a great read! You enjoy reading about the stupidity of today’s Society which we are all part of and you are not even surprised when it all collapses into the abyss to then reemerge; and the happy (or at least hopeful) ending makes you forget the previous horrors…. Hollywoodesque!”

"Awesome!"

“When the shit hits the fan, everybody gets splashed, especially when there is a lot of it…. No one is innocent, all are guilty, some just more than others, but it does not matter anymore!”

"It’s obvious!"

“It’s obvious, it’s looking at you in the face and you are doing nothing about it… The sense of canny wisdom you feel when reading through this book will not change the fact that you will go back to your daily life and do nothing about what you know is outright wrong with this world…”

"Disturbing, intriguing, cunning……"

“Disturbing, intriguing, cunning…… fascinatingly modern writing and entertaining reading, a bit like a humorously provocative blog!”

Dear Reader

You are about to be taken on a ride towards the future as it might be….

You might be shocked, surprised and scared, especially as there is no way off this train wreck. So hold on tight!

The world in its present politico-economic set-up is heading for an implosion. The only unknown variable is the trigger-pulling date, though it is probably already behind us and we are irremediably spinning out-of-control.

The truth about the economic realities of today is rarely, if ever, mentioned. One example is that of France. Though a AAA credit-risk, it has already accumulated debt equal to 83% of its GDP and it is increasing fast, fed by a large budgetary deficit; would the Country want to simply break-even, expenses should have to be reduced 40%, or alternatively revenues increased 65% (*). Any policies to do so would be politically and sociologically impossible to implement, and just mentioning them publicly would bring riots to the streets. Very few so-called developed countries fare any better.

So what then? Keep going, go bust and hand over the keys to the creditors? I don’t think so….

When we add the deliquescence of the Civic Society and the incompetence and hopelessness of the political class, we have the recipe for a big-time disaster.

Do you have a solution? Think hard, and if yes, speak up…. And be LOUD, please! Enjoy the reading!
