This book offers a way to insert an irritant into the modern world's complacency and ready acceptance of mind-numbing forms of conduct. By using a series of philosophic ghosts that span the millennia and combining those with some very raw interactions, the idea is to raise a curtain on a world and on a set of ideas that very few people are interested in uncovering, let alone discuss. At the same time, the book outlines the hopelessness of it all when it comes to the long term.
