That's right. I'm writing a Luke Jackson-style book about the way I preceive the world and my views on society. I will include a lot more, but I haven't come up with a suitable name yet.

In have no book writing experience but this can start it.

Chapters will include:
- The difference between right and wrong
- Friend Ships - sink or float?
- Technology - Hindrance or Help? (I might write another book on that)

Sounds like it's going to be good! I'm a fellow book-writer myself, except that it's more like I've got a huge story that I'd like published as a book. It's a Science-Fantasy, just so you know. I look forward to when you complete the book!

deep-techno, good start!! !

Do explore the idea of people choosing good or evil in your chapter on Right or Wrong. I once heard a reporter talking about his book on the nature of evil where he concluded there's no such thing!! ! I wanted to go to his book signing with a rubber knife and pretend to stab him!! ! There, was that a "good" thing I just did?

The dunce!! !

I think everyone should write at least one book, or have at least one magnum opus in their life.

An excellent idea, if you're able to figure out how to explain these things using words anyone can understand. That may sound simple... but experience proves me wrong. Almost all of the writing I've done concerning the real-life social experience contains odd sentence structure, footnoted digressions that can be longer than the "chapter" at hand, very little respect for sentences and paragraphs.

And I think that's the best way to do it. Emotion can't be contained in such a logical form as subject --> predicate.

I read Luke Jackson and I felt that he did not pertain to my life. I thought it was for younger Aspies/ones with lower function. From the fact that you're grasping with right/wrong issues, this looks very promising.

Good luck with your book.

You've gotten as far as me.

I haven't even started it. :lol:

I don't have the time though. :(

Some day I'll write it.
