Review & Description
Humanism, defined here as an 'inclusive sensibility for our species, planet and lives' is the sleeping giant awaiting a human animal weary of outdated religions and their equally tiresome atheist critics.
In this almost-Utopian novel describing our world just six years from now, humanist writer Dwight Gilbert Jones illustrates how we shall retrieve our governance back from the military elites, and then use our mushrooming technology to drive equality and prosperity.
Without gratuitous violence or supernatural intrusion, the author shows how America can evolve from callous militarism to become a contributing member of the United Nations - but not without a furious battle over the Pentagon's loss of influence. As the world progressively boycotts countries with nuclear weapons, the holdouts must come to terms with the new security our species finds collectively, or face escalating financial ruin alone.
Set on the west coast, the book describes rich nautical and technical scenarios around new ideas, from marine youth camps to a DNA repository on a private island. The characters discuss powerful intellectual concepts rarely mentioned elsewhere. With a fast-moving plot that foresees the dissolution of militarism alongside the ascendancy of the UN, it presages our sharing 1000 summers with each other here on Earth.
Jones explores the promise of fusion power to drive our global economy and eliminate poverty, while introducing credible concepts as diverse as an ex-Jesuit formalizing religious humanism, to clever high-tech sports technology and business ideas.
The partnership of Obama with Ban Ki-moon, and the familiar identity of the US and Canadian leaders is thought provoking, illustrating how much change is achievable in today's world, through people we know and respect. The courageous roles of women, and that of a gentle Japanese scientist illustrate the mature balance that can be demanded and put into place today, for our own future, through building on ideas.
The book presumes only that this philosophy of inclusive humanism will become warmly accepted and embraced - from there a clear path to human harmony and stewardship for our planet is shown to be self-evident.Humanism, defined here as an 'inclusive sensibility for our species, planet and lives' is the sleeping giant awaiting a human animal weary of outdated religions and their equally tiresome atheist critics.
