    About this ebook

    The 'forever' zeitgeist is the spirit of the 'century of insanity' - 1950 to 2050 - the last century before enlightenment. (Or the extinction of human civilisation - whichever comes first.)

    Sebastian and Virginia are the founders of OWL - One World League - a brave new political movement designed to address the iniquities of the world: political corruption, environmental destruction and overpopulation. Archaic 18th century political thought turns into 21st century revolutionary enlightenment with the abandonment of elections, heads of state and partisan policy formulation.

    G.G, a phenomenally powerful member of the mysterious global 'elites', convinces Virginia to embark upon a trillion dollar venture, F4F (Forests for the Future). The formula for the enterprise creates a vast, globally operating public company, of which the shareholders are OWL members - a brilliant first for a political movement. And the fabulous wealth created allows Virginia - who is now the world's first trillionaire - to infiltrate the elites.

    But while this prophetic story unfolds, the world's unwitting masses are being duped by the greatest conspiracy of all, the real-life Rothschild Formula - until the elites unleash a nuclear cauterisation which obliterates vast geographic locations around the world.

    The Compleat OWL is a hard-hitting political satire which exposes the dangers the real world is currently experiencing and lays bare the implications of the human race's inability to extricate itself from its brutish evolutionary beginnings and to politically, socially and morally mature.

    Ignore The Compleat OWL at your - and the world's - peril!

    d’ettut is an enigma and intends to stay that way. They have no vested political interests apart from a desire to help facilitate a movement which could bring about an equitable global society. They do not aspire to any particular role in such a movement nor do they wish to gain anything financially. The books are intended to assist in the quest to help the world gain social fairness.Their literary style varies. None of it is intended to be entertaining. It is confronting, didactic and enlightening (one hopes). They write about social justice and target youthful, very literate, Harry Potter-type readers who are now real-world savvy and, like Harry, are bursting to take on the establishment. d’ettut’s first four works are presented as novels and describe social despondency in all its manifestations.Greenwars (1998), the first novel, essentially covers the fact that technology and its evolution can outstrip social evolution. Moral and ethical development of society is not able to keep pace with its own driving technology. This is all described in the form of an animal allegory; a kind of 21st century Animal Farm.The second novel, Pie Square (2000), describes a different aspect of social evolution. In this situation it is the benign exploitation of youth through a highly sophisticated interactive electronic based fast food chain. Using this device young people are groomed for a more creative and constructive contribution to society.In Vampire Cities (2000) the brashness, the harshness, of unfettered capitalism is the main theme. But the subthemes rock!Amber Reins Fall (2006) looks in detail at an individual struggling in the 1960s and early 1970s to come to terms with contemporary society and the need for there to be a progressive evolution towards a moral betterment. The main protagonist invents the self-help concept.The fifth work, OWL: One World League (2017), is neither fiction nor fact. It is a literary work called fusion fiction which creates a ‘sugar coated political treatise’ condemning overpopulation, encouraging world government and issuing a clarion call to form a new global cyber-democracy ‘before it’s too late’; ‘before the elite snuff out social media’.Fusion fiction they define as literary ‘bisociation’, to borrow a term used by Koestler and Edward de Bono. It’s a pairing of semi fictional plots with slabs of ‘borrowed’ and authentic text taken selectively from journals relevant to their thesis with no formal quotation or referencing. d’ettut says, ‘Like Andy Warhol paintings of unacknowledged Campbell’s soup cans, this is a collage of written down ideas, a creative plagiarism, to send a cerebral message.’OWL is supplemented by the website http://owlvoter.com/ which dares readers to unite and light the fire of revolution (or is it transformation?) for 21st century redemptive politics.
