Publisher: Faux Books
This
is my satiric metaphor of the 2016 US election campaign and the alternate
reality it has spawned.
The
“publisher” Faux Books [faux meaning “fake”]
is surely the largest in the world! Everything
you hear or read these days is either a lie or is hyped to such a degree that the only truth is that everything is fake (including
this "book") !
Then
note the spelling of “Demockracy”
on the cover page. Indeed, what a mockery of democracy our nation has become.
The
term “Cyberclops”
is my take-off on the Cyclops that devoured Odysseus’ men in Homer’s Iliad and
Odyssey, now re-imagined as “Cyberclops” devouring our present--day
consciousness.
Finally,
there is the forward by Dr. Armand G. Eddon, a fictitious name suggesting the
Armageddon at hand if we persist in such folly.
So in one sense this really is a book… One
page long and pregnant with more truth than a 100 US Senators, 435 Representatives, and
the babbling millions who know everything
that is not true!
