Just released from Global Arts press:

The Future lies (A post-dystopian romantic thriller)

‘Written with assured power, the result is gripping, scary, and surprisingly empathetic…’ — Booklife/Publishers weekly

    What would you do
      if you found out one day
          that the Artificial Intelligence
         that ran everything
                 was lazy, dishonest,
         and not quite as bright
                      as it seemed?
      That there might be a way
    to outwit the Network
          in spite of its oppression,
       and maybe to find love,
    and some kind of a future
          in the ruins
 of a desolate world?
        If you didn't
                         die trying, that is?
Truth, illuminated.

Global Arts publishes great writing by humans for humans.

The Beatin’ Path — a lyrical guide to lucid evolution

'One of the ‘world-changing books published since the year 2000’
— Living Now Evergreen Award

‘I must preface, highlight, skywrite, bold, all caps the word “creative” when using it to describe The Beatin’ Path. The book explodes with… with… stories of existence, questions around morality, questions around mortality…deep thoughts, silly musings that lead to deep thoughts – and that’s just the first chapter. It’s like someone took Tom Robbins and threw him in a blender with Huxley, Orwell, Kant and Darwin, and then added a dash of the Buddha with a drop of the essence of a holy-rolling tent-revival preacher on acid.

The tongue-twisting wordplay that is present in this book demonstrates Lane’s whimsical storytelling abilities. Kicking off with a piece titled “Mantra for a Panther in a Room Full of Metronomes,” it’s clear that the reader is in for a ride. The mundane, profane, abstract, religious, political, financial, artistic – it’s all knit together in a flowing series of written stories that provoke inquiry and present a new way of viewing them via the author’s kaleidoscopic-colored glasses. Yeah. It’s a trip!’

-- Tanya McGinnity

The Beatin’ Path is:

  • An experimental mash-up of literary invention,
    social commentary, and 21st-Century worldview

  • Illustrated by the most gifted graphic artists
    of the past 300 years

  • Inspired by Marshall McLuhan’s ‘electric books’
    of the 1960s

  • A prescient deconstruction of the *rump/COVID era

  • A tribute to the ingenuity of the human mind

  • Like nothing you’ve read before
