You don't have to be a prophet to see that breakdown is fast approaching on every level of personal, social and economic life. Many governments are no longer viable. Industries devouring fossil fuels will soon be obsolete. Nature is groaning at the strain of supporting 7 billion of us, yet we only tinker around the edges of our destruction of natural resources. With too many of us living on finite resources, we have not changed our behaviour towards each other, or towards the planet which sustains us. The depletion of resources merely gives us extra incentive to fight more on every front, with self, power and greed still uppermost in the forces which drive us. This book holds that each and every one of us is responsible not only for ourselves but also for the conditions in which we find ourselves. The Narrator gradually recognises this, as the Stranger he meets draws this out. And, chapter by chapter, he elicits and suggest solutions - solutions which are at times simple, at times strong, even harsh, at times soft and heart-warming.
