  • Echo-A Dystopian Science Fiction Novel

    My coworkers are all married and they’ve started popping out kids.  I’m at a corporate bring-your-family get together and everyone is firmly ensconced in first-world tedium:  SUV talk, PTA stuff, the latest yuppie-geared New Agery…I’m bored out of my skull.  I look around and notice they’ve gradually formed a ring around me.  WTF?  “One of us…

    For me, it’s a matter of looking at my deepest fundamental assumptions about reality…and entertaining the possibility that they’re completely wrong.  That way, my unconscious presumptions dissolve, and I edge ever closer to things that are eternally “true.”   (And I believe that those truths are Good Things.  That’s what faith is for:  To keep that in mind…

    Over the years, the motivational phrase, “How bad do you want it?” has changed in my mind to,“How willing are you to humble yourself and expose the depths of your ignorance?”  While early results may initially be obtained by sheer desire, I believe that that approach will inevitably plateau.  To keep progressing, we must look inward…

    At the gym.  I see a dude finish a set and leave his weights on the ground.  A fellow gym-goer points it out and Douche-dude shrugs, then walks away.  I shake my head and narrow  my eyes.  I wait until Douche-dude is at the squat rack and open my eReader to Echo.  Magic flash.  He’s…

    Astronaut Chris Hadfield wryly points out, “people want to believe stuff, but they don’t want to try and understand it.”  There’s an important implication here:  the FUN of knowledge is in trying to understand!  When it’s relegated to blind belief then it becomes dead and dogmatic; it’s only when we pursue its never-attainable completion that…

    Word Count, Vol. 3:  89259 (Pretty sure I miscalculated and didn’t count a chapter; there’s forty chapters, and I enter each chapter’s word count by calculator every week since every time I edit I usually add or chop a bit, and last week’s word count was 88k something.  My gross input is always 4900 words…

    Corporate retreat at the Grand Canyon.  I’m puzzled as I see my boss shove a wad of hundos into the guide’s hand and mumble something while he looks at me.  The guide nods and walks away.  Boss walks up to me, grinning wide.  “Well Kent, we’ve tried for years—YEARS—to get you to wear a tie.…
