Awaking Hope
Citizens of Planet Earth, Welcome to the New World. When an anonymous terrorist group announces they have crashed the world's financial institutions, ending life as we know it, Hope Taylor races home to be with her family - but never makes it there. Waking from a coma in an idyllic future, where money, governments, and crime no longer exist; she must learn to accept this new world or risk exile to the mysterious Outlands. Hope will embark on a journey to discover if humanity has found its Utopia… Or something else entirely. On a dying planet, where our problems seem insurmountable, our future- bleak, could the answer be as simple as smarter system design? And do we already possess the knowledge necessary to save ourselves from extinction? Almost 50 years ago, Ernest Callenback's book Ecotopia inspired readers to imagine a different world. Awaking Hope picks up the baton and brings a new vision of what an ecologically and socially sustainable future looks like to the modern reader. Inspired by the work of Peter Joseph, best known for his Zeitgeist documentary series and book The New Human Rights Movement, Awaking Hope is the author's debut novel and the first in a planned trilogy. It explores the life we could have if we utilized proven business and systems science methodologies to design society. And based on the current scientific understanding of ourselves and the environment, challenges what the reader believes is possible for humankind.
