The Last Transition..

This fact-based novel is a journey into the worlds of digital technology, personal security, the Middle East and cyberspace. Coping with his reactions to September 11th, Bob Marchant is sharing positive memories about Iran and the Middle East over the Internet with his friends when unknown forces threatened to steal his identity, taking control of his website and his life. Unable to tell who these people were or what they represented, he turned to trusted friends to help him find ways to resist and to make the Internet safer. He became a champion for protecting cyberspace for future generations and becomes deeply involved in restoring civility to the real world. Can he succeed? This tale highlights some of the fallout of globalization and other negative realities we may be already too familiar with. Seeing these problems through one man’s perspective, you are transported through the complexities of today’s open Internet. In non-traditional wars with closed societies, openness becomes a strategic weapon. Bob advocates using technology to strengthen the Internet and then he promotes its use to enable us to communicate more freely with others, to talk openly without media bias or political overtones and to get more truth on the table for a better understanding of the world.
