The pace of change in many disciplines is accelerating and threatens to overwhelm collective moral judgement. The author, has witnessed this creeping malaise and the machinations of business during the 36 years he has been employed working for a high tech company serving the oil industry, in the shadow of Lincoln Cathedral. He is interested in society's ability to maintain a responsible attitude to these changes in a world where ego seems to hold sway and Machiavellian individuals subjugate the weakest to achieve their personal goals. Are we destined to descend into anarchy by following the example of their leadership? Can we make sense of our condition by following the teachings of one of many religions or are they just as corrupt as the rest of society?. As those in authority harness new technology to maintain their self serving control, often for the wrong reasons, without proper understanding and with disastrous consequences, his hero's and heroines struggle to demonstrate the better aspects of humanity as they endeavour to rise above this all consuming greed for money and power.voir moins
