    About this ebook

    A US president, one-time reality TV star, a fragile cowardly man, vain and weak, watches bombs fall from space, powerless to stop them. He is a man out of his depth. A man whose greatest skill was the ability to exude self-confidence, a self-belief which far stripped any actual talent or ability.

    He was a caged animal. What should I do? What should I do? He asks himself. He didn't think to ask anyone else, because he considered his own mind, a cut above all others.

    How could the world come to this, better minds ask?

    What if there was something we could do the avoid creating this sort of world.

    In the early nineteen eighties a group of world leaders sit about a table and ask the same question.

    Edgar Million

    Edgar Millions books are mostly sci-fi, with a dash of fantasy, horror and contemporary fiction thrown in.I have numerous stories available on Smashwords all free of charge and one short novel, A Button To Save the World (available for a miniscule fee - or for free to anyone who follows me on Twitter and asks for it).I grew up in London and studied Art and Animation at Central St Martins and Surrey Institute of Art and Design, and thanks to Smashwords have finally found something to do with all the short stories I write to distract me from the novel I'm now attempting to edit.The novel, my first full length book, is going to be called “Ordinary” and would have published already if I didn't keep being interrupted by regularly having to attend a day job to earn money.

      Daniel Macmillen Voskoboynik’s lyrical essay (The Long Read, NI 517) is brilliantly written so I was disappointed that it ended in bland optimism and the fluffiness of the ‘we’. This ducks the key political question of who are ‘we’ and who are ‘they’
