Tiberius Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) I'm new to this forum, but I don't plan on staying for very long. I've just come to introduce my blogel (blogged novel, if you didn't know). I'm calling it "Everywhere in Chains", after the infamous Rousseau quote, "Man is born free, but he is everywhere in chains." After reading Ayn Rand, it struck me that Rousseau did not try to eliminate the chains, he did not even merely try to explain them; he tried to legitimatize them. The novel is the story of a young man who is a bit of a celebrity at his school for his defiance of the state, and managing to avoid any serious punishment. Following the death of a certain member of the Government, he and his friends commit a serious defiance of the Censorship Laws. When the government puts out an arrest warrant for him, the young man finds himself in the middle of a rebellion in his city. I can promise you, it'll be filled with praises for Capitalism and denunciations of Socialism, with egotistic heroes and hateful, power-lusting villains, with reason portrayed as the guiding light of the good and blind faith in government portrayed as the destroyer of civilization. So if you want to check it out, please do so. The first chapter comes out September first.
