Publisher's Synopsis
This book is a philosophical exploration of the meaning of life, presented as a fictional oral history told from the perspective of "Grandfather Moses," an elder from the dawn of humanity.
The story is presented as a parable, mirroring the challenges and existential questions faced by modern humans. Moses and his tribe struggle for survival in a hostile environment, encountering themes of love, death, loss, betrayal, and the search for purpose. Through Moses's journey, the narrative delves into profound questions about the nature of consciousness, free will, and the potential for humans to overcome the threat of extinction. Central to the story is the "firestone," a mysterious artifact that allows Moses's tribe to create fire, symbolizing both progress and the destructive power of technology. The narrative weaves a complex tapestry of philosophical ideas, drawing parallels between the struggles of early humans and the challenges of modern society. This book is a thought-provoking and evocative read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of human existence and the enduring search for meaning in an often chaotic world.
