A Christmas Tale With A Difference
The people of 'England' were facing a General Election, but what was going to happen this time? This was co-written by myself and my wife Wendy in 2006.

The Decline of Civilisation (Ch.16a)

Quotations from the book 'The Decline of Civilisation' by Janus Apinus.

He mentions the development of new technologies, including Vidnet and the foodshute delivery systems to the blocks of apartments. A warning for our own world perhaps as our own economies 'develop'?
