The Future Has Arrived!
My new novel, 2084 The Reawakening, begins Sept 20!
In 2084 all is peace and harmony. Dissent is a forgotten relic of the past. But can new ideas and individual thought be permanently suppressed? Should they be?

Was Geroge Orwell right?
“Stone Walls do not a Prison make,
Nor Iron bars a Cage;
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for an Hermitage.
If I have freedom in my Love,
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone that soar above,
Enjoy such Liberty.”
Richard Lovelace (To Althea, From Prison)—1642
“The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he’s in prison.”
Fyodor Dostoyevsky— ca 1860
“I know why the caged bird sings.”
Paul Laurence Dunbar (Sympathy)—1899
“We are all just prisoners here, of our own device.”
The Eagles (Hotel California)—1977
“I understand better now than when I first read that poem. ‘Stone walls do not a prison make.’ The real prison is in our mind. We can escape. No matter how physically constrained we are, we can escape the ultimate prison, our own minds.
Anonymous—2084
It looks interesting.
