Aprašymas
This is an observational, experiential, insightful, thought provoking, yet amusing life story, showing how childhood memories from the 1950's, 60's and 70's were in stark contrast and totally at odds with life in the year 2025.
It is not only an autobiography but also a social commentary by questioning many of the practises, changes and beliefs that have occurred during the author's life, especially the assumption that all progress is beneficial. In respect of these changes James is constantly trying to ascertain who decided, why and when such changes took place. He also challenges the premise that HOMO Sapien, is the highest form of intelligence in the animal kingdom.
He raises many sensitive issues associated with institutions and people's lives, including life itself, euthanasia and death. Not forgetting the technological advances that have transformed the behaviour of most of the population into zombie like creatures, disconnected from reality.
He highlights how many biased, human traits are endemic in many individuals and institutions, especially if their power base is being scrutinised or threatened.
