This was the first of your works I came across and therefore the first I read. It was eerie, reading and being unsure whether this was intended as nonfictional commentary on our current situation or a fictional short story depicting a near-future dystopia. I ended up thinking it's somewhere in the middle. A warning, like so much of literature has been throughout history. It's absolutely haunting a beautiful. Excellent work!

What a beautifully written, heartfelt and deeply moviing, unsettling and stirring trilogy, thank you. The third installment has echoes of 1984 and an old Terry Gilliam movie, Brazil. It is true, our compliance has been offered in exchange for comfort and convenience, our outrage monetised as content. The pyramid now consists of money, power and control, with money at the bottom, the base of it. Perhaps an organised protracted boycott is one of the few legal forms of resistance allowed, and non-compliance, a return to community. The story is not yet written, and megalomaniac narcissists have a tendency to self-destruct. Resist mental conditioning, live the reality you wish to inhabit. Peace and thank you.
