This is a story about change. It's a story about a boy who was born into the Agricultural Society of the United States but early on in his life, he realized that the world that he was living in was rapidly disappearing and that he must seek his fortunes elsewhere. It is a story of adventure, of survival, and of adaption to this new world. Change in our lives is a given. It happens all of the time. You can count on it. One part of the change equation uncovered in this book is that the change which happens in our lives has its root cause in inventions and events that have previously occurred - inventions and events which most people aren't even aware of. The other part of the change equation that is uncovered in this book is the source or cause of the acceleration of change in the last 20 years. This acceleration of change is but another branch of the Industrial Revolution tree which started around AD 1650. But this time, the human part of the decision making process is being taken out of the equation. And because of this, I say that a tsunami wave of disruption has landed on our shores. It's a wave of disruption that will change us socially, destroy the family as our basic economic unit, change our educational system, our political system, and will destroy our churches.
