We're being swept up in a tidal wave of technology and the horrible effects of climate chaos are upon us all. Both in their own ways threaten life on planet Earth. Survival is a burning question today and no doubt will continue to be in the future. The character 'I' (could be any of us) in my new novel, Am I Alone In The World? has to decide if survival at all costs is really worth it. What do you think? Read this entertaining, yet challenging story. It may help you make up your mind.
Since Harry released his memoir it looks like my new novel, Am I Alone In The World? has no chance of being #1.
Great Science Fiction with a Philosophical Twist!

AM I ALONE IN THE WORLD? is a cleverly written story that engages the reader at several levels. It’s a provocative, mind-bending novel about existence in a world filled with uncertainty. As the story unfolds, the main character “I” finds him or herself alone, struggling to make sense of a planet in disarray. Much to the character’s good fortune, a library is discovered that allows “I” to revel in the thoughts and lives of others throughout history. This mysterious setting serves as a vehicle to transport “I” (and the reader) into imaginary worlds filled with enchantment and meaning. It’s a formula where possible worlds of all types can be explored. This engaging style pulls the reader right into the struggle of the “I” in all of us. I highly recommend this book for its entertainment value and also the underlying philosophical thread that provokes deeper thought.
I experienced a fair amount of anxiety and plenty of melancholic moments writing this new novel. The feeling of possibly being alone in the world and all the questions that raised, inside the story, started to freak me out. Uncertainty about the present and the future of the Earth and humanity due to climate chaos and other serious threats, as recounted in the book, made me realize to an even greater degree my own precarity, outside of it.
