About the Book

An eclectic collection of short stories reflecting on our current zeitgeist-the lifestyles, beliefs, and trends of pop culture. The social, political, scientific, technological, and ethical aspects of today's state of affairs are all given space in this short volume.
About the Author: Roberto J. Herrera was born in Havana, Cuba in 1949 and migrated to the United States in 1961 along with his parents and younger sister, Liliana. He lives in Miami, Florida with his loving wife, Lourdes, and their crazy mutt, Icy. Their forty-seven year marriage brought a wonderful pair of children-a son, Robert and a daughter, Jennifer-now married adults, and later two bright and energetic grandchildren-Roberto-Andres and Sabrina-from his son. Daughter-in-law, Barbi and son-in-law, Jeff, have brought a great deal of joy to the family. Sports such as tennis, basketball, and occasional cycling keep Roberto active, but reading and writing are his everyday rituals. Roberto taught English composition and literature at Florida International University until 2017 and holds two degrees, a master's in English (2001) and a bachelor's in Economics (1975). His master's thesis, 1984: A Synthesis of George Orwell's Life and Works, under the guidance of a superb steering committee headed by Major Professor Dr. Asher A. Milbauer and complemented by Dr. Richard Schwartz and Dr. Donald G. Watson, afforded him the opportunity to refine his research and writing skills in a setting far more challenging than the standard classroom. Before joining the FIU faculty in 2004, he was employed by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta-Miami Branch for more than three decades (1971-2004) where he held various positions in the computer field. The author's lifelong passion is the pursuit of existential questions, such as Does God exist? Is there life after death? Why is there evil in the world? Do humans have a soul, or are we-as science insists-just biological machines shaped by evolution? Do people truly possess psychic abilities? Are near-death experiences what they appear to be? And who has the better answers to those questions: science or religion? Years of pondering these issues, along with pivotal personal experiences, led Roberto to conduct extensive research in hopes of finding satisfactory answers, and this culminated in his first book, Common Sense Spirituality in a Secular Age (2010), which was revised, updated, and re-titled Reclaiming the Afterlife (2014). In effect, the author's interests span many areas of human concern, as demonstrated by the above-mentioned book and his second literary effort, Bullshit and the Loss of Common Sense.
