Synopsis

Is humanity on a Road to Nowhere? What forces are at play behind global warming and its threat to every species? Is humanity irrevocably heading down a Road to Nowhere? This near-future page-turner, weaves conspiracy, murder, genius and love into a fast-paced ride across the globe, through the absurd and beyond. Patrick, Kirby, Ancient and Costas thrust us into the world of corporate juggernaut, PetroSynth, where science, politics and corruption jostle to determine our future. How can so much power over our planet be in the hands of so few? “This book is the stuff of modern mythology, an exciting adventure with intricate personalities leaving the reader in a state of agitated ‘not knowing’ until the very end. Can we succeed (we are all in this one together) or will the corporates and their minions win out only to abandon the planet in crisis? A racy and worthwhile read capturing the zeitgeist of our times.” Ian Cohen – first Green MLC, NSW Parliament and Author of ‘Green Fire’

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Evan Shapiro, is a Sydney based writer, blogger, publisher and book designer. The second of four children born to loving would-be bohemian parents, he grew up on a diet of independent cinema, junk TV, Shakespeare and chocolate biscuits. He likes to define the resulting confusion from his upbringing as his ‘perspective’ which he relentlessly channels into works of fiction and musings via his blog ‘I’m no expert but...’ Evan Shapiro started writing ROAD TO NOWHERE in 1996 as a reaction to stories of global warming in the news. Particularly concerning at that time was the hole developing in the ozone layer. It struck him as alarming then, that as a species, we were being very very slow to act. It alarms him even more now. He recalls learning about greenhouse gases in primary school and being taught about the life cycle of the sun and what life would be like for people at its different stages. These early encounters with popular science stayed firm in his mind and somehow colluded with a number of other ideas to form this book.
