Follow Stephen, Nick, Jodi, and Ray through a provocative and often humorous look at their daily existence. But buried in their stories is an insightful perspective on the dysfunction of our own world; an innate pathology that threatens our continued survival. Looking around, it seems like something is very wrong with the state of the world. Despite our immense potential, we are not living up to the challenges that our world faces on a daily basis. Our technological advances could bring all of us a significantly improved quality of life, but instead our world is increasingly under the threat of destabilization by any number of events of our own creation This book is a humorous and mindful way of calling attention to the issues underlying our dysfunction and it suggests some changes that we can each make in order to overcome our challenges. I am Alan Stein, a physician, a scientist, and a developer of advanced healthcare technologies. But those jobs become less and less meaningful in an increasingly chaotic world. Today''s healthcare does not address our overall well-being, so even as we develop increasingly sophisticated medical technologies, they are being delivered to an increasingly unhealthy society. We need to take a step back and examine the underlying causes of our societal dysfunction. Ironically, the biggest danger that we face is simply that we''re all too preoccupied to even consider finding a better way for us to live. Our challenge is a global one. Things like carbon emissions, wealth inequality, regulatory capture, and the decay of critical thinking skills aren''t problems that start or stop at a nation''s borders. We live in a globally connected society, so even though you may not feel pain from these issues today, they still affect you though even if you have not yet identified their impact. Current efforts to address these problems have been limited to narrow tactical maneuvers necessitated by our socio-political systems. But this isn''t good enough. We must do better by addressing the underlying disease that is causing our societal decline instead of treating the innumerable symptoms. Many conceptual issues are captured in these entertaining short stories. This anthology will challenge you to think differently about the world in which we live.
