The (In)Convenient Truth About The World You Live In

Bag om The (In)Convenient Truth About The World You Live In

This compelling political satire from the author of the widely read The UK Left The EU Because Brussels Decided To End Tax-Avoiding Practices Within Its Member States has been inspired by John Lennon's following verses: "Imagine there's no countries, It isn't hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, >Isa Iri is the United Nations' last resort to avert the imminent World War III prompted by the economic necessity of Russia and the United States to control the world's largest natural gas reserves in the Persian Gulf.However, this benevolent global effort soon becomes a devastating initiative, jeopardising the UN's future existence after Isa's fictitious country erupts into an ethnic war, whereby his Christian Orthodox father leaves his Muslim mother. As a result, Isa suffers a nervous breakdown, whereby he publicly condemns God, religions, and the human race, unaware that his entire life is being broadcasted to a worldwide audience 24/7.The UN sections Isa to a mental institution. After falling in love with Judith, his psychiatrist, Isa experiences a bipolar setback and reveals profound insights into how hatred infiltrates us in myriad, insidious ways, curtailing our penchant for leading a happy life.Ultimately, Isa drafts a new global constitution based on laws of nature and discloses conclusive evidence of God's existence, but will it be sufficient to unite humankind or avert a nuclear war?Endorsements"The satire is brilliant, an understanding of reality in a way that would miss most in normal text!"- Walking the Breadline, UK"This unique concept is to be applauded - it's a story of struggle, inner retrospection, social injustice, and more. The author has a brilliant imagination and uncanny talent for storytelling."- BabyBook, US
