A voice echoes in the dark. “What if I were to tell you that your perception of reality is deeply flawed? That the truth of existence was far stranger and more wonderful than anything you had ever read, heard, seen, or felt before? Would you believe me? Would you think I was lying? Mad? A dreamer? Delusional? A religious fanatic? Or would it not come as a surprise to you?” A bright light flashes. Harry wakes up. It is early in the morning and his alarm has not gone off yet.

The year is 2020. Political unrest is at similar levels to the last few thousand years. Wealth is still seen as the primary way of eliminating suffering and yet the wealthy won’t share it. Money is the true god, and greed is paramount across the major proportion of global population. Inequality has not yet been resolved. If you or people like you are reading this then the chances are you are in the top ten percent because you have had some kind of an education. The top one percent own more wealth alone than the bottom fifty percent. And the remaining 99 percent are merely cogs of varying sizes in the machine that makes the one percent richer. Sound familiar? It should… but something is different. Something is unusual about this world to you.
