A Novel in Three Parts -- A Tryptich
AUTHOR’S NOTE
There follows a story; a fictitious story. It must be fictitious as it is set in the future and, regardless of what the characters indicate in the story, it is impossible to foretell the future with any accuracy.
It may be that portions of the story that follows will prove true, that will be by coincidence not by any ability on this author’s part to foretell the future.
All the characters in this story are fictional. To this author’s knowledge they do not exist in either name or character. All companies, organizations et al. are creations of the author and any similarity to companies or organizations that do exist is by coincidence.
In this story there is a suggested path of Human development. That is; a suggestion of how society might function in the future. This is one of many paths that society might take, and the path outlined in this story is not endorsed by this author.
This story outlines many ideas on controversial moral, political and religious aspects of our lives today and possibly in the future. These ideas are not necessarily those that this author holds personally.
These ideas are only included in the story for the purposes of story development and as a suggestion of how issues might develop or be resolved in the future.
In parts this story is analogical. It is also symbolic and can be read on a number of levels. None of those levels are meant to offend anyone – only tell a story and suggest a series of possible human events.
