A generational cultural biography of the road taken, not chosen .Our parents sped along this road, ignorant of the broken bridge ahead. They fled the golden glow of farmutopia, entered the silver shadow of Pandora’s Shop, birthed us among mechanical and electrical toys-and now we wander in this great white out, a white blindness which we are passing onto our children who are our green hope.History will not absolve us unless we change, because we know what we do. There is a way to wheel our massive cultural inertia around, and when we leave this planet in guilt or innocence, we pass to our children the greatest challenge-to save our planet, to save its life, to save themselves.While chronologically clear and analogically appealing, don’t let the style fool you-I promise a raucous, ironic, sardonic, sarcastic, rollicking ride with flashbacks and fast-forwards that might spin out of control. Hang on.Dr. Gary Kirby, a Renaissance PhD out of Northwestern, describes his eight books on GaryKirby.com as 'waking dreams with a pleasure and a point.' If this point penetrates, there is hope to harmonize high tech with a clean green earth and a true blue sky. To achieve this end, Gary started TheEarthAct.org, and invites you to join.
