Synopsis
Humanity's greatest gift is that of imagination—our ability to break apart the cosmos into understandable components that we can then put back together to make something new, including a new perspective. Within each of our 7 billion individual minds we have done this differently, each creating a different story, a different view of reality, and a different truth. This has resulted in an endless variety of dreams and fears, each of us carrying an urge to become something that fulfills us in our own unique way. Sometimes these urges align and we create meaningful communities and reality-altering technologies that make us fall in love with humanity and its potential. But it seems they just as often (if not more so) come in conflict with one another, thus resulting in our modern society, the kind of culture that's largely built on greed and oppression: a small group of individuals hoarding power in order to manifest their perspective by stripping most of us of our ability to do the same. Thus we find ourselves ripe with existential crises, leaving us torn as we alternate between our love for the people we have in our lives and the accomplishments we've made thus far, and the frustration and anger resulting from our enslavement to lifestyles that steal from us the joys of existence and the power to become what we so deeply desire. This is one mind's raw and honest experience navigating this capricious gauntlet, a journey of loneliness, depression, addiction, connection, vulnerability, inspiration, love, and hope—all told through a richly-woven tapestry of poetry and prose.

À propos de l'auteur
Steven Parton was born and raised in a small town in rural Ohio. With little variation in the stories told by the vast cornfields that surrounded him, he used the stories held within literature, film, and video games to fuel his imagination instead. His fascination with the human condition and technology eventually led him to study Computer Science at University, where he simultaneously cultivated a healthy obsession with psychology and eastern philosophy. After graduating, he spent two years traveling before deciding to settle in Portland, OR. When not writing, he enjoys biking, traveling, philosophizing, and partaking in food and cheer and all things geeky. He likes to write stories that challenge the reader to examine social and philosophical issues, while also providing an immersive and exciting world to explore. He believes there is nothing more important than cultivating self while loving all that life brings your way, but that one should never forget to laugh either.
