They Who Would Leave A Legacy Stephen M Wood

Despite enjoying the benefits of technological mastery and worldwide peace, those alive near the turn of the 22nd century continue to struggle with the most basic aspects of being human. Is there any solution to this, our profoundest existential challenge? Some are convinced they know the way out.

They Who Would Leave A Legacy, submitted for publication on Election Day 2020, explores how unabated corruption will continue to undermine the greatest achievements of humanity and, in the process, humanity itself. It is an epic metanarrative comprised of equal parts dystopian sci-fi and ancient myth. It is a humorous yet deadly serious satire of modern man and modern knowledge. It is, by all accounts, ambitious.
