THE STATUS QUO IS JUST A PASSING PHASE! Sunny and his kinfolk were content with their way of life. During the dry season, their clan lived alone. They hunted whenever they chose, gathered an array of plants, told stories, and took part in debates. In the rainy season, they united with the rest of their tribe. They formed a temporary city, feasted, held dances and played games. They could have lived like this forever. But a strange and foreign people had ideas of their own...

THE STATUS QUO IS JUST A PASSING PHASE! Sunny and his kinfolk were content with their way of life. During the dry season, their clan lived alone. They hunted whenever they chose, gathered an array of plants, told stories, and took part in debates. In the rainy season, they united with the rest of their tribe. They formed a temporary city, feasted, held dances and played games. They could have lived like this forever. But a strange and foreign people had ideas of their own... Appearing out of nowhere, these aliens looked completely different. They smelled different. They even dressed differently. And they had the most peculiar habits.These people did not live with the earth. They exploited the earth, imposing monocultures and intensive farming. They were not content with their lot. They were possessed by an insatiable desire to consume. And they had no sense of freedom. They were beholden to a never-ending list of outlandish concepts; things such as "Hierarchy", "Patriarchy", "Monarchy", "Monogamy", "God", "Punishments", "Ownership", "Inequality", "Money", "Work" and "Tax". Sunny and his kinfolk faced the toughest decision in their history... They could wage war on these imposters. But their enemies were strong. They had killed hundreds-of-thousands of indigenous people. They could flee. But these imperialists would surely follow. They would push them into the sea, the mountains or the desert. Their clan needed another solution. But what could it be? Could they negotiate with this violent foe? Could they form a pact? Could they create a kind of alliance? Sunny had no idea. But he was compelled by a duty to find out. This was his time. And he was willing to risk his life, to save the people he loved... THIS IS NOT THE END OF HISTORY. OTHER WORLDS WERE POSSIBLE...

Autorenporträt
Joss Sheldon ist ein Nomade, ungebundener Freidenker und postmoderner Radikaler. Geboren in 1982, wuchs er in einer der anonymen Vorstädte auf, die sich um Londons schlagendes Herz wickeln. Dann ist er entflohen! Mit einem Abschluss von der London School of Economics, verkaufte Sheldon Falafel auf Musikfestivals, als Ski Bum und nicht in der Lage, die englischen Midlands in eine Oase der Rugby-Liga zu verwandeln. Dann, im Jahr 2013, begab er sic nach McLeod Ganj, einem indischen Dorf, in dem Tausende von wütenden Affen, Hunderte von tibetischen Flüchtlingen und der Dalai Lama selbst leben. Dort schrieb Sheldon seinen Debütroman "Involution & Evolution". Mit mehreren positiven Kritiken hatte Sheldon die Schreibwut gepackt. Er reiste nach Palästina und Kurdistan, wo er seinen zweiten Roman "Occupied" recherchierte, ein dystopisches Meisterwerk, was Sie noch nie zuvor gelesen haben. Aber erst mit seinem dritten Roman, "The Little Voice", hat Sheldon das große Los gezogen; auf beiden Seiten des Atlantiks in den Top-Charts und erntete viel Beifall bei den Kritikern. Im Jahr 2017 kehrte er mit "Money Power Love" zurück, einer Liebesgeschichte, die den Aufstieg des britischen Empire und die Art und Weise, wie Bankiers mit der Macht, aus dem Nichts Geld zu machen, die Welt, in der wir heute leben, gestalten konnten. Jetzt ist Sheldon zurück mit seinem wohl bisher besten Roman ¿INDIVIDUTOPIA". Fans von dem Roman 1984 werden diesen dystopischen Klassiker lieben, der in einer Welt spielt, in der Unternehmen die Gesellschaft zerstört haben und niemand mit anderen spricht. Dies ist eine menschliche Geschichte, voller Hoffnung und ein Abenteuer, in dem unsere Heldin alles tut, um zu entkommen...
