Preamble<\/span><\/h2>\n

\u201cYou are entitled to your opinion. But you are not entitled to your own facts.\u201d<\/em><\/span>

The AMERICAN ENTROPY TRILOGY, is a series of three sequential novels.
\n<\/span>The term Entropy is used in the context of a measure of the disorder or randomness in a closed system, in particular, the gradual, not necessarily inevitable, steady deterioration of a system or society to collapse.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This oeuvre of 3 novels, humbly attempts to explore the causes, and possible prevention and cures of an AMERICAN ENTROPY through fictional parable. While as a novel it strives to entertain, it’s primary <\/span>raison d’ etre<\/em>, frankly is to inform. It is inspired by the eternal literary verity:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Fiction is the lie through which we tell the truth.

\u00a0AMERICAN AMNESIA\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Book 1: 1900 – 2000<\/a>\u00a0 443pp – Now available on Amazon.com<\/span>
\nThe origin of the title AMERICAN AMNESIA, in this context as a metaphor for the failure of contemporary American society to be cognizant and indeed, heed the lessons of history. History is unkind to those those who abandon it, and can be especially unkind to those who make it ignominiously. It traces the history of how American democracy has become the obsequious servant\u00a0 of unfettered capitalism and neo-liberalism, resulting in colossal and catastrophic\u00a0 failures of the economy,<\/span><\/span> and\u00a0irreparable harms done to the middle and working class.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

AMERICAN ALGORITHM\u00a0 \u00a0Book 2:\u00a0 2000 – 2004<\/a> 338pp – Now available on Amazon.com<\/span>
\nThe origin of the title AMERICAN ALGORITHM, derives from the complete proliferation and increasing predominance of virtually every aspect of distinctly American culture by the computer-driven Digital Age, which utilizes algorithms to instruct the CPU(Central Processing Unit), essentially the brain of every microprocessor controlled device, including computers and \u201csmart phones\u201d etc. The good, the bad and yes, the very ugly of the Digital Age.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

AMERICAN ANARCHY Book 3:\u00a0 2008 – 2024 Coming Fall of 2025 \u00a0(Please view 4 Part Series Film: AMERICAN ANARCHY)<\/a>
\nThe title AMERICAN ANARCHY is an avatar to call out, through fictional depiction, the alarming sociological and political pandemic intended to sow discord, divisiveness, and a basic distrust of American governmental institutions. Its primary virulent vector, is unfettered, uncurated and unregulated social media platforms of the internet. It contains scenes of a graphic nature, strong language and depictions of wanton social and political deceit and obfuscation by some very rich, very smart, and very evil people\u2014Evil Geniuses\u2014and their assault on the American democracy.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Admittedly a literary primal scream, it is my hope that in\u00a0 some small way I may have contributed to an awareness and better understanding of the tremendous positive potential of the internet for promoting socially beneficent innovation, and empowering and promulgating democratic ideals.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
But, that it must not go unsaid, it’s well past time to break the glass, sounding a shrill siren, warning\u00a0 of the long-term pathological consequences of:<\/span><\/div>\n
