- ...awakening in time
You will see from the first attachment that I began with a synopsis (which was written for a possible co-publisher) but that I've not followed very closely the form and content that it prescribed. What I promised in the synopsis was to map out in some detail the idea of 'creative democracy' - the despecialisation of industrial living to the point where professional jobs are deconstructed into new families of intelligent software enabling anyone and everyone to take over the continuous re-forming of the culture in every act and every thought. There are fictional hints at this vision in several places but to nowhere near the extent that the synopsis predicts. Something kept stopping me writing in that prescriptive way (the way of the utopias), some deeper reluctance kept me back from any kind of faits accomplis in which other minds are not free to be cleverer or more stupid than any of us might predict.
