Ziggurat
Individuals are tools of production and consumption, relentlessly looking for pleasure that never comes. Their same "self" vanishes while attempting to fill up the emptiness of their existences completely dehumanized and possessed by the totalitarian law of profit. Neither old nor new values will never appease their plight while the social regime remains unaltered. Until the social room we all occupy is humanized, there is no chance for Man to finally be born, we'll keep being oppressed by the ruthless Leviathan, no matter if it disguises itself with the reassuring forms of civil rights and democracy. Democracy is not an alternative to totalitarianism, it is just one of the faces of dominion. It is nothing more than a good system to produce goods and accumulate money under peculiar circumstances. There's nothing left out of the iron grasp by Capital, its domination spreads from end to end across our entire world and place in the universe. The law of profit allows no option, it's despotic, and it appropriates of everybody and everything, and moves the individuals according to the invisible, yet overbearing and unstoppable, hand of necessity. As a consequence, the search for humanization and liberation of all Mankind goes necessarily through overcoming the actual social regime, for a world without social classes, money, trade, politics and power. The entire novel plays and rocks between reality and dream, and yet hallucination and actuality melt and confuse one another. One thing is Chimera, another is Utopia, but most of all, it's all happening now right now in front of each and every one of us while we're wide awake...

About the Author

aka Dangerous Bob
Bob Mazzei is a lively youth of 50 and lives in Europe. Although he doesn’t see himself at ease in a capitalist society, he hasn’t managed to find another livable planet in the vicinity so far. Thus, he is forced to put all he has studied into engineering, philosophy and economics to make his ends meet, which, like it or not, goes to serve its Majesty the Capital as well.

Jeff Lowe, aka Jeff the Terrible
Jeff is 590 years old (yes, 590!!) and lives on the ground floor of the United States. He realized a very long time ago that capitalism was a short-term practice. Jeff is an opponent of the Neostance and of all that put greed before life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
