About the Book

This is a story about change. It's a story about a boy who was born into the Agricultural Society of the United States but early on in his life, he realized that the world that he was living in was rapidly disappearing and that he must seek his fortunes elsewhere. It is a story of adventure, of survival, and of adaption to this new world. Change in our lives is a given. It happens all of the time. You can count on it. One part of the change equation uncovered in this book is that the change which happens in our lives has its root cause in inventions and events that have previously occurred - inventions and events which most people aren't even aware of. The other part of the change equation that is uncovered in this book is the source or cause of the acceleration of change in the last 20 years. This acceleration of change is but another branch of the Industrial Revolution tree which started around AD 1650. But this time, the human part of the decision making process is being taken out of the equation. And because of this, I say that a tsunami wave of disruption has landed on our shores. It's a wave of disruption that will change us socially, destroy the family as our basic economic unit, change our educational system, our political system, and will destroy our churches.
About the Author: I retired from IBM Endicott, NY in 1998 after twenty nine and a half years of service, and my wife and I moved to Canandaigua, NY, a small town in the heart of New York's Finger Lakes region. I took a part-time retail job with Chase-Pitkin, a home improvement store (owned by the Wegman family but now closed), and then after Chase-Pitkin closed, I took another part-time job at the Wegmans grocery store in Canandaigua. It was during these 11 years of part-time jobs that I began to really get to know people. I wrote a book titled, "The Last of the Family Farms", published in 2008. I wrote this book for my grandchildren so that they would know what it was like to have grown up on a family farm. When I was working part-time at Wegmans, I started to think about writing another book. During my time at IBM, my days were filled with meetings, preparation of IBM's famous fall and spring business plans, and with deadlines associated with shipments of parts. But since I am retired, I can let me mind drift a little. I observed people in all walks of life as they came to buy their groceries and I came to the conclusion that living in our society today is less satisfying than it used to be when I was growing up on the family farm. Indeed, the lifestyles of those folks who came into Wegmans to shop for their groceries seemed to be counterproductive to making a living, raising children, and really getting to know their families, friends, and neighbors. "Slaves of Our gods" is a serious book. It is a warning to to be prepared to live in a society where there are no morals, only machines that do our work and our thinking!
