Publisher's Synopsis
Ride the sphere ball is a futuristic novel about ecology, community & romance starting in the year 1936 through a century to 2036, with a pivotal middle section in 2022. The author is obsessed with planetary Climate Changes and wants to explore the different ways we approach the solutions that have, in many cases, been there for over a century. This book is divided into two parts: the first is the futurist novel section, and the second suggests non-fiction real life potential technologies & ideas. 1936 The Great Depression started with the stock market crash of October 1929 and got worst until 1932. Slowly the economy improved and by mid-1930s a faint light of hope started to appear. It was the year 1926 when I obtained my right to vote and came into a considerable inheritance', the elderly man said. 'I was a very eager young man, smart enough to know that I didn't know everything. I seeked knowledgeable men and asked for their advice as to how I might invest this inheritance.' On a trip to Toronto, Jean met with an eccentric engineer in a coffee shop. He claimed that he invented radio, x-rays, and even AC electricity. The electrical engineer, a Nikola dreamed of creating a source of inexhaustible, clean electrical energy. This would be free for all - what a dream. Nikola strongly opposed centralised coal-fired power stations that spewed carbon dioxide into the air that humans breathed. In 1895, Tesla and Westinghouse created the world's first major hydroelectric power plant in Niagara Falls. Changing the way we look at such powerful natural forces. 2022 Marie is with her astrologer Susan Peush for a reading on what the future may have for her. Susan said "your birth chart points to difficult times ahead, with many opportunities to grow and acts of significance. Love will be in your work and home life. Your son Hugo is thirteen and requires a lot of your time and energy. The planets are asking you to embrace your destiny and push the envelope within spheres of influence to improve the ecology and environment." Marie is the mairesse of Drummond. She is also Préfet of the regional three sister cities of Victoria, Sherbourg & Drummond - TriologiCité. In 2036 these are my notes on this very difficult business. They are not in the form of a protest, which would be useless.
