Overview

At times like these, what will it take to get things on the right track. If there were a Zeus, a few well placed lightning bolts might act as a very needed wake up call...don't you think? After receiving an electronic visitation from the twenty second century, quantum scientists from thirteen physics labs around the world engage the C.I.A. and Interpol, starting in Berkeley, California and trek across Europe, China, Russia, and Japan in order to thwart white collar criminals and terrorists trying to disrupt world changing directives from reaching the floor of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. With futuresight at hand, the whirlwind has been stirred. The world's power and money base, even terrorists, are threatened by true hindsight from our future. Think about it... knowledge from the future. WE x is a disruptive, visionary novel that crosses the hard-copy, e-book, and sliver screen genres engaging you in an ominous direction: our changing World Equation. Stephen Hawking asked Yahoo! Answers in June, 2006: How can we sustain the next one hundred years? ; defining our times as political, social, and environmental chaos. Piling on Mr. Hawking's dilemma, we can now add economic chaos. Your sense of peace and calm will be disrupted three ways. First, the intrigue: strong female and male characters take you across continents and centuries in a quest to save the world. Second, you will have no choice but face our realities and the burden of change. Not blame, clear, albeit uncompromising, answers with nowhere to hide. Finally, WE x is an E-Quel...a genre blend...spun from the author's, Charlie Pedersen, first novel, Turn of the Century:2100. An E-quel is a quasi-screen play, dialogue driven format that turns pages in hard and soft cover, but comes alive in the e-reader format. The strong dialogue is buttressed by hyper-links that will take you as far as you wish: quantum science-the god particle; 9/11 and terrorism; the water and energy crises; human trafficking; refugees; world health; the multi-cultural confrontation; and war with views from all sides. Driven by story and proven by facts... faction ... the line between fact and fiction, with answers navigated by your imagination and a world of knowledge. Surprised and provoked, you'll feel personally empowered and uplifted: the world of denial and avoidance meets Google, Bing, Yahoo!, and YouTube. These are pretty lofty and grandiose statements! It's about time, a decade after 9/11, we put it together and moved forward. Here's who should read WE x anyone who cares about our society; every college age youth in the world (after all, the sins of the fathers are about to visit); and any thinking person trying to sort out the divide between cultural, political, and spiritual views of the world. Oh yes... if you have a science bent or are fascinated by our possible futures, or frightened by today's chaos and our awesome possibilities. WE x ... Where are WE going? What is our World Equation? Are there Answers? If we haven't been successful using our hindsight and if our present chaos is a blur, maybe someone should intervene with futuresight...hindsight from their past which happens to be our future. The real question is, an of what and who will survive the journey? Read it, paperback or hardcover, and experience it in e-book. Absorb it. Have it both ways. Is this fiction or non-fiction? The threat and power of new ideas can be denied as fiction, but is hard to be dismissed as faction. The goal is engaging and the objective is to change the world. After all, if the future felt it worthy to bet their lives on our future, what are we willing to risk? WE x . Will the human race (WE) reap the whirlwind or harvest infinity?... An infinity of what?
